A striking and highly collectible runway piece from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2004 RTW collection, famously worn by Omahyra Mota on the runway. This design perfectly captures Gaultier’s signature fusion of tailoring, sensuality, and subversive detailing.
Constructed from structured dark denim with contrasting rust-toned topstitching, the piece features dramatic corset-style lace-up panels running along the sleeves and sides, allowing the fit to be adjusted and sculpted to the body. The silhouette blends a sharply tailored jacket with the attitude of a micro dress, complete with integrated garter-style suspenders at the hem — a quintessential Gaultier play on lingerie and outerwear.
The result is a sculptural, body-defining garment that can be styled as a jacket, micro dress, or statement layering piece. A standout runway design from one of Gaultier’s most recognizable early-2000s collections.
