This weekend has become one of the most memorable in the history of Paris Fashion Week, marked by Duran Lantink’s inaugural show at the legendary maison of Jean Paul Gaultier. In a recent podcast interview with Nicole Phelps on The Run-Through, the 38-year-old Dutch designer shared insights into his creative process for this first collection: “We began with fittings right away,” he noted. “I’m not delving into the archive yet; I prefer to keep it under wraps for the time being. I aim to envision what might be behind that door and construct a fantasy landscape in that regard.” Join us today as he reveals this imaginative realm.
As we head towards Duran’s big reveal for Jean Paul Gaultier, ominous clouds gather overhead. The conversation in the car revolves around Duran’s standout moments from last season. His latest collections have been impressive, featuring prominently in numerous shoots and reviews! We’re eager to see the direction he takes with Jean Paul Gaultier. 💖
Travel tip for Paris: Before arriving, you can gauge how busy a show will be by checking the availability of Lime bike parking in the vicinity. There is NOTHING available within a kilometer radius of the Duran at Gaultier debut.
Duran, a burst of color for you!
