HISTORY
Released as part of Jean Paul Gaultier’s limited “21st Century Model” eyewear series around the turn of the millennium, this design showcases the designer’s fascination with mechanics, futurism, and transformable objects. Produced during a period when Gaultier eyewear became synonymous with experimental engineering, the model is distinguished by its fully collapsible structure, folding not only at the temples but also at the bridge. Engraved with “21st CENTURY MODEL,” it stands as a functional manifesto of Gaultier’s belief that fashion can operate as wearable machinery.
