The meeting of these two great designers is expected to generate enormous demand and anticipation. Fashion enthusiasts will eagerly await the unveiling of this one-of-a-kind collection that combines the archives of Jean Paul Gaultier with Haider Ackermann’s artistic vision. Undoubtedly, the presentation of the collection in January will be a highlight of the Paris Haute Couture season.
