Y/Project x Jean Paul Gaultier printed miniskirt

This miniskirt emerges from the celebrated collaboration between Y/Project and Jean Paul Gaultier, fusing avant-garde construction with archival rebellion. The design revisits Gaultier's iconic trompe l'œil prints with a modern filter, creating a piece that is both a tribute and a new statement for a contemporary wardrobe.

The art of the detail

Defined by its streamlined, second-skin silhouette, this miniskirt is animated by a vibrant, multicoloured optical print. The piece is crafted from a lightweight technical stretch fabric, offering a smooth feel and comfortable wear that conforms to the body. An elasticated waistband ensures a secure and seamless fit, allowing the intricate printed pattern to remain the undisputed focal point. This design merges Y/Project's structural ingenuity with Gaultier's legendary graphic artistry, resulting in a garment that is as compelling as it is wearable.

How to wear

Style this printed miniskirt with a simple black top to create a sophisticated anchor for its dynamic pattern. Complete the ensemble with architectural heels and a structured clutch for an evening at a gallery opening or a modern cocktail party. The fitted silhouette makes it a definitive choice for occasions that call for a confident and artistic approach to dressing. For a daytime interpretation, pair it with an oversized blazer and minimalist ankle boots, allowing the skirt to add a graphic edge to a polished look.
