Jean Paul Gaultier

This enfant terrible of the fashion world needs no introduction. He launched his first collection in 1976, the rest is history.

Inspiration:
This creation transforms 1 Eastpak Artist Studio bag and 3 authentic Japanese embroidered vintage jackets into one garment. The beautiful bomber jacket with original dragon embroidery can transform into a backpack and vice versa.

A message from the designer:
“I believe a condom is the best piece of clothing and my message to everyone is “Protect yourselves”. I have been involved in the fight against AIDS for many years now and will continue to do so as long as I am needed.”

I noticed when I was in France last fall. Every school children, their parents and college age students all carried Eastpak on their backs. It was their brand of choice. Pretty much anyone who didn't wear Eastpak was a foreigner. I remember growing up in Korea late 90s it was a popular brand then but haven't seen em since.
