Jean Paul Gaultier is a true Parisian couturier, who became a household name after Madonna wore his conical bra on her “Blonde Ambition” tour. Gaultier is also the house designer for Hermès.
On Sunday, the Jean Paul Gaultier for Target collection hits the racks, featuring Gaultier’s trademark looks such as a tattoo-print stretch T-shirt ($26.99), dress ($29.99) and leggings ($24.99).
Key pieces include a gingham bustier top ($29.99), trench coat ($59), black strapless dress (also $59) and leather moto jacket ($199.99) plus a pinstripe jacket and short set ($49.99 and $34.99) that really channels the Material Girl circa ‘Express Yourself.’ Jean Paul Gaultier for Target is available through Apr. 11.
