FITTED MA1 JACKET
Junior Gaultier
1988
Gaultier’s obsession with British street style from skinheads, ravers and B-Boys led to his appropriation of the MA1 jacket to create a range of garments that subverted its military heritage. For this MA1-style jacket, Gaultier has emphasised the waist using darts to shape the jacket front and removed the usually ribbed hem to create a more cropped silhouette.
Polyamide, polyester, viscose.
