Jean Paul Gaultier SS25 / Spring Summer 2025 Haute Couture at Paris Fashion Week Couture. This season Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture created by Ludovic de Saint Sernin.
The above text is an imagined account of an eclectic band of star-crossed voyagers, lost to red-blooded passion on rough open seas. They are the protagonists of Ludovic de Saint Sernin’s Haute Couture collection for Jean Paul Gaultier SS25 Haute Couture. For Ludovic, receiving an invitation to author this body of work was more than an honour — it was a dream come true. From the start, his instinct was to create characters that brought the heroes of both brands’ universes to life, paying homage to Jean Paul Gaultier’s status as one of fashion’s true mastersof craft and one of its greatest auteurs. A proud exhibition of the peerless savoir-faire to which 325 Rue Saint Martin is a longstanding home, this collection is also a toast to the countless worlds and characters that have been brought to life here – to the frenzy of playfulness, whimsy, The above text is an imagined account of an eclectic band of star-crossed voyagers, lost to red-blooded passion on rough open seas.

Naration of Jean Paul Gaultier SS25 Haute Couture by Ludovic de Saint Sernin entitled Le Naufrage :
“…And as they lay, scattered across the barren sands, they truly believed that their arrival here was a matter of fate— that their ship had left harbour under the light of a cursed star. But if I am to document this as a matter of destiny, it is a destiny that could touch any person with eyes that see, ears that hear, and a pulse that beats—that delicious curse of temptation that Eve unlocked when she bit into the apple’s flesh.
Flashbacks crackle like crashes of heavenly thunder. First, arrows, shot by a randy Cupid; blood pulsed from the heart to the loins. Memories of who they were and where they were going melted away, supplanted by burning lust. An ingenue bride-to-be, on her way to her betrothed, lifted her veil to touch lips with the ship’s captain, their hands off the helm; two bare-breasted pirates made off with a tartan-clad Celtic princess, while John Swann, their gay matey,set his sights on the strapping sailor manning the rig. Sirens shrieked in ecstasy to the songstress’ bawdy ballad; krakens and crocodiles licked, sucked and snapped at the boat’s brittle bow.
As the chorus of moans rose and fell alongside the mounting waves, a bolt of lightning cracked down the galleon’s mast, breaking the vessel apart and flinging a mass of spent bodies to the sea’s boiling foam. Even then—bobbing on the open water with mouths full of salt, noses full of smoke—they still believed they were the unfortunate victims of a fate that couldn’t have been avoided; that there was nothing they could have done… Wasn’t there? ”
