Jean Paul Gaultier Responds To The Closure Of Garment Series

In the fashion world, Gaultier has long been a fashion legend even without clothing or men's wear.

In September last year, the famous fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier announced the closure of its women's clothing and men's clothing and accessories series, and shifted to focus on the advanced custom series, perfume business and other projects.

The reason why Jean Paul Gaultier has been closed down for a long time is unknown, but recently he has publicly responded to the motive behind him.

Jean Paul Gaultier is 62 years old. In his 38 years of designing clothes for his own brand, he gradually grew weary of the endless sales planning, commercialization and marketing in the industry. He wanted to focus on theatre and film work in the future, as well as two series of advanced customization in Paris every year.

He thinks the fashion industry has been changed, "too much."

Strangled fashion, fashion has changed.

Constantly increasing production of clothing, 8 series a quarter - that is 16 series a year.

This operation system will not succeed, and there will not be enough people to buy them.

All the clothes we make are not worn. "

He explained.

According to relevant statistics, only

There are more than 100 clothing series showing each year.

Nowadays, too much excess of fashion is released, resulting in the fact that many garments can not be digested. The design of the market is too much to accommodate the market, which makes the fashion unique and personalized.

And for the trendy consumers,

It is suggested to buy products of fast fashion brands.

"There are a lot of cheap clothes that are also excellent, such as Zara, H&M, Uniqlo, etc.

People can dress beautifully without spending a lot of money, so why buy expensive clothes? "He said.

According to foreign media sources, four years ago, Gaultier's first retrospective exhibition was held at Montreal Museum of Fine Art, one of the most influential museums of Fine Arts in Canada, and its personal works exhibition was launched last Wednesday at Grand Palais, Paris The Grand Palace.

Since Canada, this retrospective exhibition has been held in 9 internationalized cities, and about 1 million 500 thousand people have watched it.

This retrospective exhibition will showcase 175 exquisite costumes, which will last until August 3rd.

According to WWD reports from foreign media, Gaultier hopes to show more about his home and something about himself in the exhibition.

But in fact, the appearance of retrospective exhibition seems to herald the end of an era.

Gaultier was once regarded as the heir to Yves Saint Laurent, but his latest series of women's wear was regarded by top fashion critics as lacking consistency in design.

However, Gaultier believes that "now is a very suitable time to set up a retrospective exhibition when I stop designing the garment series."

Gaultier said there was no lingering attachment.

"I want to continue doing what I like to do.

It's almost a luxury, isn't it? "
