Fashion, Jean-Paul Gaultier and Motorbikes

Jean-Paul Gaultier is an incredible visionary. His fall-winter collection in 1995 already hinted at the arrival of women at the helm of the motorbike. We remember that in 1995 the ladies took a seat in the back as passengers!

But to unveil his FW 1995 collection Jean-Paul Gaultier did not spare the decorum and gave us an eyeful as a Harley-Davidson appeared on the runway with a young woman on the handlebars! Vombrissement, Harley-Davidson and Jean-Paul Gaultier then presented us with the FW 1995 collection, all woven leather, black and jewels in heavy silver chains. The story doesn’t tel but something tells me he is no stranger to the motorcycle world and that he certainly doesn’t ride a Vespa.

That year the MadMaxette like collection, so named by Jean-haul Gaultier himself, is a collection for ‘courageous, confident women who are very much in control of their lives’.

Why am I talking about motorbikes anyways? I could be taking about many other things. But in the fall of 2022, movement and immersion are 2 themes of predilection. After 2 years of a COVIDIEN confinement, taking to the road on a motorbike gives us a new lease on life, instilling that sense of freedom and vitality we so despareltly need to warm, reactivate an reignite the flame within us. Simply put… Freedom a sense of freedom we so desperately need.

So ladies… what brand of motorcycle do you drive? How do you feel holding the handles yourself?
