Jean Paul Gaultier – Cyber Dots

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!

Black and White

S:W-1

Black and White is always a great combination and was seen a lot on the runways. For winter houndstooth was a must-have. For the upcoming summer 2010, stripes, op-art and graphic prints, some of them with an influence of ethnic ornaments, appeared on the runways.The top by Gareth Pugh is on sale at www.brownsfashion.com and a great buy for the next season.

If you are not so into patterns, you can also achieve the look with an accessory like a black belt on a white dress or combine the two colours by wearing a light top and a dark skirt or vice versa.

S:W-2

As I am a big fan of the nautical look, I like the black and white striped tops that you can order at www.topshop.com. They are cool, not so expensive and will give you an immediate fashion-update. Optional you can go for a black and white bag or shoes.

S:W-3

It is definitely a trend that you will have already in your closet. So start now and enjoy!
