We love the detail on this stunning mermaid-inspired 2008 Couture collection. With Golden scales that shape the body, the intricacy of each one is divine, As well as the most glamorous coral crutches ever seen which were for mermaid bride finale piece.

Gautier’s unique style accentuates women’s natural curves, creating highly structural pieces inspired by corsetry,
The designer creates almost warrior-like armour that’s feminine and tough... Partridge Style!

We Love Gautier’s glamorous approach to materials and textures and his punk aesthetic that carries though all of his collections. What is your favourite piece?
