For the Idole episode of My Style Rocks, I chose to wear Jean Paul Gaultier’s iconic Cyber Dots—a design that embodies boldness, innovation, and timeless artistry. Just as Gaultier’s vision redefined fashion, I redefine my own narrative. I don’t just admire idols; I am my own idole.
Jean Paul Gaultier’s «Cyber Dots» motif first appeared in his F/W 1995 collection, drawing inspiration from the Op Art movement, particularly the works of Victor Vasarely. The design featured polka-dot patterns on form-fitting garments, creating optical illusions that accentuated the body’s contours. This collection was emblematic of Gaultier’s innovative approach, blending art and fashion to challenge conventional aesthetics.
I wore this dotted jumpsuit from Jean Paul Gaultier during a live performance in 1995 and needless to say I kept it until today.
27 years in between my cyber dots jumpsuits.
In November 2022, the house revisited this iconic motif with the «Cyber» collection. This ready-to-wear line reimagined the original designs, introducing vibrant neon colors and contemporary silhouettes while maintaining the signature dot patterns. The collection encompassed a range of pieces, from catsuits to micro bikinis, reflecting a fusion of ’90s nostalgia and modern fashion sensibilities.
The enduring appeal of the «Cyber Dots» design lies in its timeless ability to merge art with fashion, continually resonating with new generations and solidifying its status as a hallmark of Jean Paul Gaultier’s visionary legacy.
The reason why I am showing you this is to emphasize that it is really good to keep special pieces. They will always their time again. I wore this outfit on a recent episode of MY STYLE ROCKS. Stay tuned!
Today, I would like to talk about one of my all-time favorite wardrobe staples — the denim jacket. Nothing makes you look younger than these bad boys, and let me tell you, they’re not going anywhere in 2024. In fact, I’d say they’re hotter than ever as designers bring unexpected twists on the classic by playing with different shapes, washes, and embellishments, and I’m here for it!
My personal favorite this season is the cropped version that I like to combine with dressier pieces as in this post here. However, I am also a fan of the blazer style or the lace embellishments. I put the best ones available together for you!
Celine is a brand synonymous with minimalist luxury. Under the creative direction of Hedi Slimane, the brand has embraced a refined aesthetic that resonates with fashion-forward individuals, making the Triomphe sunglasses a must-have item. Trending among all generations, many celebrities and influencers have been spotted wearing the IT-sunglasses of summer 2024, which has significantly boosted their popularity.
Featuring the iconic Celine Triomphe logo – a design inspired by the historic Arc de Triomphe in Paris – they come with an elegant crossbody bag in brown leather for elegant storage.
In case you don’t want to wear the pair that everyone is sporting at the moment but want to wear oval-frame sunglasses, I recommend getting one of the options below. I promise you won’t regret it!
Last weekend, nearly a million techno music fans came to Zurich for the 31st Street Parade. The world’s largest techno party always takes place on the second Saturday in August. More than 200 DJs took part in the festivities, letting the electronic and techno music fans dance around Zurich’s lake basin. In the evening, the event continues in the city’s clubs. The sun was shining and I enjoyed a fun time at the Baur au Lac hotel, my favorite place to be during the festivities. It is a great way to have a front row seat at the iconic music parade while enjoying the serenity and space of the hotel’s beautiful park.
Jean Paul Gaultier and Shayne Oliver release a collaboration that fuses the ingenuity and irreverence of New York-based fashion corporation with the fierce femininity, attitude and glamour of French fashion house.
In this 50-piece collection power, femininity, and play collide. Plug and play with these shapeshifting silhouettes, from polos fitted with breastplates to mesh dresses with detachable hip pads. JPG’s signature nautical stripes are reimagined with sporty slogans that read «RIDE GAULTIER OR DIE OLIVER.» Together, the two brands flirt with the power of subversion, as only they can.
Shayne Olivier is teaching the House of Jean Paul Gaultier how streetwear is done and he is a good teacher!
I am obsessed with the Jimmy Choo x Jean Paul Gaultier collaboration featuring global pop star Kylie Minogue in the campaign. Fusing two creative identities and being born from a shared vision of femininity, empowerment and confidence, the capsule collection is co-designed by Jimmy Choo’s creative directorSandra Choi and JPG’s creative director, Florence Tétier. It revisits archive pieces from the Parisian fashion house, adapting them to contemporary tastes.
«Fashion for me has always been about collaboration with like-minded creatives, and pure personal self-expression. Jean Paul Gaultier and Jimmy Choo have both been part of my fashion journey, and I’m thrilled to work with both of them to celebrate this exceptional collection,» says Kylie Minogue of the partnership. «It’s our collective histories fusing, to create something fresh and new,» she adds.
Acting as an evolution of the longstanding relationship between Kylie and both brands, the campaign follows a long line of made-to-measure Gaultier looks and custom Jimmy Choo shoes. The campaign sees Kylie showcasing the new footwear collection and transforming into a modern-day pin-up.
My favorite pair of the collection: The black leather wedge pumps show both the icons of the cities that are home to the brands, the Eiffeltower and Big Ben, in their plexiglass heels.
For Jimmy Choo, the collaboration follows its recent team-up withSailor Moon creator Naoko Takeuchi and for JPG, the collection follows its recent release with the corset-loving London ready-to-wear labelKNWLS, alongside news of its next guest designer: Simone Rocha.
Maiden Shanghai is a new exploration of authentic Chinese cooking in a spectacular setting at the new FIVE Zurich hotel that will open its doors next week. With dramatic views over the Swiss city, it contains a bold dining area and outdoor terrace, aas well as a private dining room. The decor playfully fuses the traditional with the boldly modern, creating spaces that feel open yet connected.
The interior design served as the perfect background to wear for the first time this fun look from the collaboration between French Haute Couture labelJean Paul Gaultier (JPG) and stylist of the momentLotta Volkova.
Renowned French Haute Couture labelJean Paul Gaultier (JPG) and stylist of the momentLotta Volkova have collaborated on a ready-to-wear capsule consisting of bra dresses, corset tops and soft tailoring. As the in-house stylist for Vetements and Balenciaga, Volkova has been integral to the creative vision of both houses. In this capsule you will see her style fuse beautifully with the signature aesthetic JPG is known for.
There is a very limited distribution with this capsule collection, so please be fast… my favorites are the following from left to right:
Jean Paul Gaultier’s conical bra is iconic – when Madonna wore one on stage during her 1990 ‘Blonde Ambition‘ tour, it went down as one of the most iconic moments in music and fashion history. From the brand’s latest collaboration with Lotta Volkova, there are several remakes, one made from plush velvet that’s ruched and corseted and has those iconic spiral cups and another one made from topstitched satin with matching leggings.
