We take a look back to the enfant terrible’s most memorable garment, as worn by Madonna
is remembered for – over three decades of shows from French fashion’smakes for many a recognisable garment – few lodge in the memory quite like his spirited take on the corset. Two in particular: first, the slimmed-down curves of his torso-shaped Classique perfume bottle; second, his pink satin, conical-breasted creation for Madonna’s 1990The latter’s thrill comes from the way it turns the inside outside, making the previously unseen, seen.
. “His rebel-with-a-corset moment was when runway and stage merged, bringing to a global public the vision of the bra that the designer had revealed first on the catwalk in the early 1980s.” Madonna’s message to the world? Strapping oneself up had never looked so liberating., are pooling a collection of over 200 rare Gaultier pieces, gathered over the years, which will go on sale as a pop-up in Opening Ceremony.
“There’s a sense of humour, fantasy, and wit to his designs that’s often lacking in fashion these days,” Giordano says. “His clothing is beautifully made, innovative in design and always a little subversive for whichever time period it was designed in. His legacy is a designer without boundaries – someone who has marched to the beat of his own drum and makes clothing for people who do the same.”
“We’ve had some of the other cut-out cage pieces from that era before but never a jumpsuit,” Brandon says. “It takes these classic elements like suiting and corsetry that could normally feel conservative or restricting and subverts into something sexy, and powerful. It is a garment that forces you to stand tall and feel empowered and I think takes a very strong person to wear it.”
