Jean Paul Gaultier c. 2000 Cherub Print Ruffled Mesh Dress

From Jean Paul Gaultier’s turn-of-the-millennium era, this sheer mesh dress features a romantic pastel cherub print framed by cascading ruffles. The fitted off-the-shoulder silhouette is finished with elongated sleeves, dramatic ruffled cuffs and an asymmetrical tiered hem.

The ethereal print and sculptural ruffling create a distinctly Gaultier tension between romanticism and sensuality, making this a particularly striking example of the designer’s printed mesh work.
