Lot Essay

A standout look of the Jean Paul Gaultier S/S 1991 show, the vinyl matador jacket was made for both men and women. On the runway a silver version was worn with white lycra leggings.
"The clear vinyl matador’s jacket embroidered in gold and jewels was the men’s wear item of flamboyant choice," The LA Times reported in 1990.
