Squeletor Dress

With the Squeletor maxi dress, Jean Paul Gaultier picks up where he left off with his 1996 Cyberbaba collection. However, rather than using printed skeletons, he has opted for a trompe l'oeil X-ray print on the Squeletor dress, which gives the impression of showing the inside of the body. In doing so, he transforms medical-technical aesthetics into avant-garde fashion, and typically questions body image and social norms.
