Glenn Martens Is the Next Designer To Take Over Jean Paul Gaultier Couture
Following sacai’s Chitose Abe.
Following Chitose Abe’s show in July, Jean Paul Gaultier has now named Glenn Martens to take over as the guest designer for his next Haute Couture collection.
“Did you guess right? After sacai, Glenn Martens from Y/Project takes over our next Couture Show,” the French designer announced on Instagram. The Belgian creative, who is also leading Diesel at the moment, will be succeeding Abe to showcase an expansive runway show. Although not many details have been unveiled so far, we can expect Martens to blend his deconstructed looks with Gaultier’s signature style.
In March 2020, Gaultier named the Japanese designer as the first collaborator for his relaunched Couture line. Kicking off the new model, Abe worked with names like Dr. Woo and Pierre Hardy for her designs, which were revealed alongside a Nike VaporWaffle collaboration.
Stay tuned for Jean Paul Gaultier’s Couture show by Glenn Martens, set to be revealed in January 2022.
