A striking corset top by Jean Paul Gaultier, rendered in a distinctive olive chartreuse tone with contrasting lace-trimmed bust cups and delicate bow detailing. The structured bodice is designed with contoured seaming and internal boning, creating a sculpted waist and a classic corsetry silhouette closely associated with the designer’s early 2000s aesthetic.
The piece features adjustable shoulder straps and a front button closure, blending lingerie references with ready-to-wear construction. This fusion of exposed underpinnings and tailored structure reflects the house’s exploration of sensuality, subversion, and body-conscious design during the early 2000s, when corsetry was frequently elevated from foundation garment to outerwear.
While no specific runway attribution is available, the design language, materials, and silhouette are consistent with Jean Paul Gaultier ready-to-wear corset tops from the late 1990s to early 2000s, a period defined by visible lingerie elements and architectural shaping.
A highly collectible archival piece that functions equally as a statement layering top or a standalone focal garment.
