For spring-summer 2027, Duran Lantink brings folklore, sharp tailoring and radical fantasy into dialogue in a collection where opposites compose a new harmony.

For <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/la-favorite-de-gaultier-soffre-un-paris-enivrant-a-lafayette-anticipations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean Paul Gaultier&#39;s Spring/Summer 2027 collection,</a> Duran Lantink envisions a deliberately multifaceted fashion, where each angle reveals a different story. The collection unfolds like a strange and luminous celebration: folklore meets the rigor of tailoring, vintage memories collide with new forms, and the familiar suddenly veers into the unexpected. A joyful, fully embraced confusion that extends one of the house&#39;s founding principles: never fear what doesn&#39;t immediately make sense. <p class="x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj" dir="ltr" data-assistant-stream-block="" data-assistant-stream-block-index="6" style="text-align: justify;"> Lantink once again draws on the extraordinary legacy of <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/fashion-week/chez-jean-paul-gaultier-duran-lantink-reinvente-la-silhouette-en-trois-dimensions" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean Paul Gaultier</a> , as well as on his own recent experiences within the house. This season, it is the clothing and prints of traditional Dutch folklore that fuel his imagination. Graphic checks, tartans, and florals seem to have traversed time without losing their original character, simply dusted off to shine brighter today. The past is therefore not a relic here: it becomes living material, a reservoir of ideas that the designer reinterprets, amplifies, and confronts with his contemporary vocabulary. <p class="x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj" dir="ltr" data-assistant-stream-block="" data-assistant-stream-block-index="7" style="text-align: justify;"> A bohemian, almost witchy atmosphere evokes a dreamlike Ibiza of the 1980s. Ruffles flutter, an antique cape dating from around 1900 is reborn in lightweight cotton, while embroidered bells on jeans, skirts, and coats accompany the wearer&#39;s movements with a discreet tinkling. Further on, a delicate dress in printed and perforated leather is worn like an apparition, suspended from the head like a wig. The silhouettes thus seem always ready to change their nature, to slip from garment to ornament, from body to object, in a perpetual game of transformations.

<p class="x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj" dir="ltr" data-assistant-stream-block="" data-assistant-stream-block-index="8" style="text-align: justify;"> Faced with this whimsy, tailoring asserts its precision. The forward-projecting shoulder gives jackets an almost sculptural allure; the armholes are positioned with millimeter precision, and a four-fold lapel evokes an accordion on a multi-check blazer. Trench coats, field jackets, and cargo pants bring a utilitarian dimension, soon disrupted by the appearance of conical leather bras. The square collar, already seen in the house&#39;s recent couture on denim pieces, now takes center stage on a mackintosh and a bomber jacket, like a new signature. Even vintage jewelry, meticulously polished, seems reborn in a new light. <p class="x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj" dir="ltr" data-assistant-stream-block="" data-assistant-stream-block-index="9" style="text-align: justify;"> The whimsical element extends to the accessories as well. Some hats incorporate an archival image of Farida Khelfa wearing what appear to be stockings filled with balls, transforming the memory into a surreal object. On the feet, new sandals play with the idea of ​​the negative, like the reverse side of a flip-flop or the echo of a tabi shoe. Between archival discoveries and radical inventions, Lantink composes a wardrobe for multiple identities. &quot;Nobody is just one person,&quot; he summarizes: an intuition that runs through the entire collection, as if each garment should be able to accompany the different versions of oneself that emerge throughout the day. <p class="x1yc453h xma8rkl xgoqxah xutxfr x1fie51u xgyxj25 x1xobyvs x1elgs31 x1fv8qjw xcy5tzr x1ht4adc xnvauns x1c2l018 x14l7nz5 xuw7688 x1pjt2rx x160d6zm xrxpjvj" dir="ltr" data-assistant-stream-block="" data-assistant-stream-block-index="10" style="text-align: justify;"> This multidimensionality finds its ultimate expression in the very space of the runway. Mirrors installed at the Palais de Tokyo fragment the silhouettes and circulate perspectives, favoring the three-quarter view over the classic frontal pose. The garment becomes volume, movement, almost sculpture, while the reflections introduce an element of chaos—precisely what Lantink seeks. On this shifting stage, Tikitaka , a hallucinatory track by an obscure German band from the 1990s, resonates, remixed in 2019 by Dazion, himself from The Hague like the designer. A strange coincidence, perhaps, but above all a beautiful metaphor for this collection: at <a href="https://www.lofficiel.com/industry-trends/avec-le-vestiaire-1-duran-lantink-reinvente-lheritage-jean-paul-gaultier" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jean Paul Gaultier</a> , ideas sometimes meet by chance, and it is from their collision that the obvious arises.
