Meet the designer JPGaultier invited 'to interpret the codes of the House,' Chitose Abe.
Gaultier insisted that he and Abe “have many things in common creatively and a similar vision of fashion.” He plans to give Abe “complete creative freedom,” following a guest designer template he’s been contemplating since the '90s. For her part, Abe praised Gaultier’s “unique vision of subversive femininity and his originality, both of which I’ve strived toward in my work since the beginning.
Of course, Abe is just the first in what will presumably be a long line of designers who’ll partner with Gaultier. He has no shortage of creative friends—Nicolas Ghesquière and Christian Lacroix were just some of those who attended his final runway show—but Gaultier’s choice of Abe suggests he’ll be steering clear of big names, giving designers who might not have had the chance otherwise to take a stab at couture.
