Radical Fashion: Jean Paul Gaultier's Flashiest Designs

Sailor Chic
This "Lascar" striped dress, a part of his 2000 spring/summer "Romantic India" collection, has a nautical theme. My mother dressed me in sailor-striped sweaters. They go with everything, never go out of style and probably never will," Gaultier said of his inspiration for the outfit. His use of stripes, inspired by the Breton region of France, became an iconic Gaultier look copied the world over.
