「時尚頑童」Jean Paul Gaultier 自 2020 年退休後,同名品牌轉而專注於高級訂製系列,而不同以往的「客座設計師」制度,成為時尚圈的一大特殊存在!這些客座設計師皆由 Gaultier 親自挑選,往往是具有才華但尚未擁有高級訂製資源的新銳創作者,包括現任 Maison Margiela 創意總監 Glenn Martens、Tom Ford 創意總監 Haider Ackermann、Simone Rocha,以及 Ludovic de Saint Sernin 等人,都曾擔任此職務。不過,這項客座制度似乎將正式畫下句點,品牌近日正式宣布由荷蘭設計師 Duran Lantink 出任 Jean Paul Gaultier 的新任創意總監,未來將主導品牌的高級訂製與成衣系列。

1988 年出生於荷蘭的 Duran Lantink,自 2016 年創立個人同名品牌以來,便以融合女裝、男裝與無性別風格的實驗性設計,在時尚界迅速累積話題!他對永續議題的堅持,也成為品牌標誌性的語言之一,透過回收舊衣與升級再造,重新解構主流奢侈品,打造出兼具街頭能量與高訂精神的獨特風格,憑藉著這股無邊際的創意,讓他囊括包含:2023 年 ANDAM 特別獎、2024 年 LVMH Karl Lagerfeld 獎,及 2025 年國際 Woolmark Prize 等多項國際時尚大獎,被視為最具潛力的新世代設計師之一。

自 Gaultier 於同名品牌卸任後,品牌的成衣系列長期以膠囊式形式發表,儘管高訂系列有「客座設計師」的形式來維持,但缺乏一個穩定主導者的風格掌握,要維持一個品牌屋的進行似乎是一大難事,如今由 Lantink 接手高訂與成衣整體視覺,除了能確保品牌風格的一致性,也為這位天馬行空的設計師提供了更完整的實驗平台,而他對材質、造型、理念的「激進」重構,無疑與 Gaultier 持續挑戰傳統的品牌靈魂高度契合!他的首個 Jean Paul Gaultier 成衣系列預計於 2025 年 9 月亮相,他能掀起怎麽樣的變革?讓我們拭目以待。
