Duran Lantink Shows First Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2027 Collection

· Retail & E-commerce · France

Duran Lantink presented Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2027 ready-to-wear in Paris, drawing praise for his silhouette construction but criticism for missing the house's hedonism and joy. It was a closely watched debut for the brand's rotating guest designer model.

Why it matters：Gaultier's rotating guest-designer strategy is a test case for how heritage houses can stay culturally relevant without a permanent creative director.

Key points

  • Critics praised the construction of the silhouettes.
  • Reviewers said the Gaultier hedonism and joy were missing.
  • Part of the house's guest designer rotation.
