Jean Paul Gaultier SS03 Pierced button up vest

A lesser-known garment from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 2003 collection. In addition to shirts, the collection included jackets and trousers, produced in several different versions.

The design is simple yet striking, featuring a number of metal “piercings” that hold together patterned cut-outs. These elements form the structure of the shirt, eliminating the need for traditional seams. Additionally, it features a front pocket as well as embroidered "JPG Jean's" on the upper and red “Gaultier Jean’s” label in the lower back of the garment and branded buttons.
