Exploring Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 1991 Ready-to-Wear Collection

Editor’s note: As part of Vogue Runway’s ongoing efforts to document the history of fashion shows, we are closing out 2025 by adding newly digitized shows to the site. This fall 1991 ready-to-wear collection was presented in Paris at the Cirque d’Hiver on March 15, 1991.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s fall 1991 presentation was a spectacle to behold, with over 125 looks showcased in the grand setting of the Cirque d’Hiver. The venue was transformed with gaudy blue velvet curtains and a circus ring painted with yellow stars, creating a whimsical atmosphere reminiscent of a bygone era. To top it all off, can-can dancers descended for the finale, adding a touch of theatricality to the show. Plus c’est plus.

The collection itself was a fusion of 1890s aesthetics with a modern twist. The first model to walk the runway evoked the spirit of French cabaret performers like Yvette Guilbert and Jane Avril, capturing the essence of fin de siècle Parisian nightlife immortalized by painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.

Gaultier’s signature play on self-transformation was evident in the versatile garments that could be worn in multiple ways. The focus on rectangular and square pattern cutting resulted in draping fabrics with handkerchief hems or folded ends for added volume. Wildly colored tights, candy-cane stripes, and trim waistcoats added a touch of whimsy inspired by vintage circus attire.

The winter theme was accentuated with skating-like costumes, faux-fur trims, and activewear motifs such as hooded anoraks and sleek leggings. The collection also featured nods to Anglomania and avant-garde aesthetics, with handprints reminiscent of cave art and face-obscuring bodysuits paying homage to iconic figures like Leigh Bowery.

Despite a delay caused by door crashers, the show was a sensory delight for those in attendance. Dancers greeted guests with sweets and violets, while a barroom singer serenaded the crowd with old French ballads. For Gaultier, every runway show is a cabaret, a showcase of his boundless creativity and theatrical flair.

As we look back on Gaultier’s fall 1991 collection, we are reminded of his ability to push boundaries and defy conventions, creating fashion that is not just clothing, but a form of art and self-expression.
