Jean Paul Gultier

Following Christian Lacroix and Martin Margiela, for the third edition of ELLE Decoration Suite by a fashion designer, Jean Paul Gaultier unveiled his signature nautical stripes on this spectacular interior design at an apartment situated in front of the Eiffel tower.Clothes are my job, and as I only know how to dress, I dressed this ELLE Decoration suite in the Cité de l’architecture & du Patrimoine, with various touches that already grace my collections. First, the marine touch. Navy stripes are deployed and deformed on the walls, they are draped and curl around the furniture, a little “marine morphing” lounge that disappears in the white canvas. Then comes the green touch. Nature opens its doors ! Plants are invited in, a garden is printed on the walls! Ivy weaves into the sofa; lichen grows over the woven chairs in the shade of a tree, and moss, like green velvet, carpets the stone, plants tumble down in steps, hiding in a net.
