Shown in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection, this tank continues the designer’s exploration of body print, a visual language first established through his tattoo-inspired designs in Spring 1994. By 1996, Gaultier had expanded that vocabulary to include new graphics and slogans, including the “Safe Sex Forever” motif seen here. In that context, the piece reflects one of the designer’s central ideas of the period: treating clothing as a second skin through body-conscious silhouettes, intricate printed imagery, and graphic ornament.
