Description: An exceptional runway piece from Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring/Summer 2003 Ready-to-Wear collection, poetically titled 'Appel d'Air, Merci Calder', a tribute to the sculptor Alexander Calder and his kinetic mobiles. Rendered in deep chocolate brown, this floor-length gown features a dramatic open back of suspended fabric segments linked by delicate metal chains, directly evoking the suspension and lightness of Calder's mobiles. Gaultier here transforms wearable jersey into a piece of moving sculpture. A true collector's treasure and a tangible fragment of fashion history.
