There are items that we like, and there are items that we love.

THERE ARE ITEMS WE COLLECTIVELY LAUGH OVER, BOND OVER, SWOON OVER, AND THERE ARE DEFINITELY PIECES WE ARE SINGULARLY OBSESSED WITH.

Bold, sexy, sensational – the collaboration between Jean Paul Gaultier and the stylist Lotta Volkova lets the worldwide fashion community in awe pointing at the controversy of female nudity in an elegant and confident way. The line reflects a strong lead of the JPG´s curve – high-femme lines encoded in hourglass silhouettes, holding power, pride, and fascination with female assets. Lotta Volkova´s edgy and critical approach, not afraid to shock is rounding up the pieces, adding a modern finish to their timelessness.

Our jaws dropped, as we encountered this Nude Maxi Dress that covers and denudes and opens the discussion of the naked body in fashion and society. It hugs the wearer´s silhouette by creating an optical illusion of a very bare female corpus. Not afraid to turn heads, we proudly declare our crush on this, more than iconic piece.
