Sacai designer Chitose Abe will design Jean Paul Gaultier’s autumn/winter 2020 couture collection, before Gaultier then invites another creative into his atelier for the following season.
. “I admire her work, we have many things in common creatively and a similar vision of fashion. I am glad to give her complete freedom.”What are Abe’s intentions? The Japanese designer, who is a master of slicing, splicing and manipulating fabrics into energising new combinations, said she was honoured to be the first custodian of the French house.
Abe has an innate ability to surprise, but in a quieter way than Gaultier’s signature showmanship. Whether she will stick to the provocateur’s diverse casting – his January swansong saw supermodels walk alongside Pedro Almodóvar muse Rossy de Palma, legendary chanteuse Amanda Lear, French cinema icon Béatrice Dalle and former Miss France Iris Mittenaere, with performances by Catherine Ringer of Les Rita Mitsouko and Boy George – is unclear.
