Lotto Description

Incredible archival piece signed by Jean Paul Gaultier, perfectly embodying the rebellious and transgressive spirit of the French fashion “Enfant Terrible.” This garment is a masterful example of deconstructivism, blending the classic structure of a Montgomery (duffle coat) with the volume of a cape and the comfort of sartorial knitwear.

• High Collar: A substantial ribbed collar protects from the cold and adds an urban, sophisticated touch.
