Duran Lantink unveils avant‑garde couture for Jean Paul Gaultier

On 8 July 2026 Dutch designer Duran Lantink presented his first haute couture show for the French house of Jean Paul Gaultier. The runway featured sculptural black coats with exaggerated collars, silicone‑covered anatomical tops, and a 3D‑scanned corset worn by model Leon Dame. Among the most talked‑about pieces was a pink flamingo‑inspired dress, recalling Gaultier’s long‑standing fascination with birds.

The collection blended the brand’s heritage—denim, plumed details and bold silhouettes—with experimental materials and futuristic construction, emphasizing Lantink’s subversive, fantasy‑driven vision of contemporary couture.
