Lantink's first look simultaneously referenced two of Gaultier's most recognisable and significant looks and collections - his Autumn/Winter 1995 Mad Max collection, and a dress from his Autumn/Winter 1984 show, Barbès. The latter is, arguably, the most famous Gaultier garment of all time - a velvet dress, ruched like an Austrian blind, with vast protruding cone breasts in a virulent shade of clementine orange.
Gaultier isn't dipping a toe into the Crocs pool-he's cannonballing in combat boots, reimagining iconic silhouettes like the Classic Clog and the towering Bae Clog.
