“It's seamless, it’s simple. Every dress was done almost three times, and every time I saw the dresses in the atelier, at the fittings, I canceled one more thing. In the end, we only did dresses made out of one piece of fabric. This was a new thing for me, something very light, almost timeless. I added the masks because I was in a good mood, a mood of carnival, of freedom—people behind masks are more free, somehow.”

“Blue-and-white stripes. What can be cleaner? Of course it's reminiscent of sailors. It just looks fresh. The seawater always gets the sailors wet, so this is the inspiration. Clean and smelling good, perfumed with the scent of the sea.”
Jean Paul Gaultier
