SS01 Jean Paul Gaultier ‘Satan’ Tattoo Mesh Long Sleeve Shirt

Jean Paul Gaultier is a French designer who has been pushing societal boundaries since founding in 1982. Over four consecutive decades, he’s consciously reconstructed our ideals of masculine beauty, experimenting with fashion’s digitized future while paying homage to the past. Utilizing rebellious textiles like skin-fitting mesh, he’s unapologetically sexualized the virile physique, rewriting the industry rules while stomping on preconceived notions. Using graphic design as his muse, Jean Paul Gaultier has single handedly altered our perceptions of the human silhouette and its placement in runway fashion.

Debuting in the Spring of 2001, this graphic is widely regarded as one of, if not the most sought after depiction from Gaultier’s reign. Plagued as the so-called ‘Satan’ tee, this shirt illustrates a menacing gargoyle in the foreground of crashing thunder and lightning. Crouched just beneath a Gothic Jean Paul Gaultier emblem, the moon looms in the background, in pair with a neckline pull tag, skin-fitting cut and burnt hue. Tagged as a size small, this piece fits oversized, and is in pristine condition throughout.
