Back in September, the iconic designer Jean Paul Gaultier made a significant announcement, revealing that Ludovic de Saint Sernin would be joining as a guest designer for his esteemed fashion house. Following in the prestigious footsteps of renowned designers such as Chitose Abe, Glenn Martens, Olivier Rousteing, Haider Ackermann, Julien Dossena, Simone Rocha, and Nicolas di Felice, LdSS was carefully selected by the legendary French fashion icon to craft a creative couture collection. Today, during the illustrious Spring 2025 season of Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week, Ludovic, who established his namesake label in 2017, unveiled his eagerly anticipated Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Spring 2025 collection. Drawing inspiration from Jean Paul Gaultier?s early career at Herm?s, Ludovic encouraged his cast of models to elevate the theatricality on the runway, allowing each model to embody a unique character. The collection, titled ?The Shipwreck,? showcased an array of JPG?s iconic corsetry and rich nautical motifs, celebrating Gaultier?s signature style.

?A parade of nothingness,? commented forum member [brandon J pierre], reflecting a critical viewpoint on the collection.
?They should have invited Dilara Findikoglu if they wanted cheap copies of Alexander McQueen?s looks; at least she would have given us a better show than this parade of nothingness. This collection feels literally empty, there?s no substance,? expressed another member, [perhydrol], highlighting dissatisfaction with the collection’s depth.
?Project Runway? the Jean Paul Gaultier challenge,? quipped [helmutnotdead], drawing a comparison to reality fashion competitions.
?It?s impossible to hate on this diva. The collection wasn?t as bad as I was expecting, and I kinda wish I had an ounce of his confidence,? shared [Snejena Onopka], showing appreciation for the designer’s boldness.
?Ludovic de Saint Sernin is my guilty pleasure. I loved it. I didn?t expect anything, and yet I was impressed. This is a better Gaultier than what Simone Rocha did. I love that even though he did the Gaultier tropes, he explored some other sides of Gaultier,? remarked [Lola701], praising the fresh perspective brought to the collection.
?I?m not even going to lie. I loved it!!! I actually found the pieces beautiful and sexy without being the pornfest I was expecting. The modeling was good too from most of the models,? added [Salvatore], emphasizing the collection’s appeal.
