Jean Paul Gaultier and Y/Project have teamed up for a second collaboration, this time with a focus on prints that create the illusion of garment mashups. Glenn Martens, guest couturier at Jean Paul Gaultier for January 2022, returns for a second ready-to-wear capsule showcasing his fascination for Gaultier’s trompe-l’oeil pieces. The capsule collection is captured by photographer Thomas Cristiani and stars Gia Bab, with creative direction courtesy of Florence Tétier.
The collection explores illusion through 2D-printed knits placed on mesh dresses, tank tops, turtle necks, maxi and mini skirts, elevated through knit details on sleeves and necks.The range includes looks for both men and woman, from t-shirts banded with a print of belt-encircled jeans to cable knit tops.

With a taste for the unconventional, Martens’ designs challenge our expectations of what clothing should look like through his avant-garde designs that challenge conventional ideas of silhouette, texture, and material. His bold and daring aesthetic has earned him a loyal following and a position as creative director at Diesel, Y/Project and guest couturier at Jean Paul Gaultier.

Whether you're looking for a statement piece to make a splash at a party, or simply appreciate the artistry of fashion design, the Jean Paul Gaultier × Y/Project’s collaboration is one worth exploring. The collection is available for purchase on the Jean Paul Gaultier and Y/Project websites now.
