Ludovic de Saint Sernin will be the next guest designer for Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture.

The Paris-based creative director is known for his body-skimming looks, references to queer culture and social-media-friendly styling favoured by Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.

De Saint Sernin most recently showed during New York Fashion Week last February in a bid to refocus the spotlight on his namesake label, founded in 2017, following a short-lived partnership with Claudio Antonioli’s Ann Demeulemeester label in 2022.

Gaultier’s guest designer program has become a key moment of the haute couture season by providing a platform for artisanal creation to talents including Glenn Martens, Olivier Rousteing, Haider Ackermann, Simone Rocha and Nicolas di Felice.
