## Summary

A long-sleeve button-down shirt featuring a red and white trompe l'oeil anatomical muscle print in a halftone dot pattern, crafted from lightweight rayon fabric.

## Description

Throughout the ‘90s, Gaultier emphasized clothing celebrating the natural body — he used razor-thin, body-revealing tops and trompe l’oeil patterns to highlight the sexuality of the male body in a way uncommon for mainstream culture at the time. His most famous of the latter were a series of pieces which portrayed chiseled male torsos, appearing prominently on the runway for the spring 1996 collection. This top is constructed with a lightweight, breathable rayon fabric, and can be seen in the presentation alongside the matching jacket. Its print later found pop-culture fame after appearing on the red carpet donned by the late Robin Williams. Condition: 8/10. Some small marks around the front and back hems. Tagged size: 16/41. Fits M, see measurements for reference. Shoulder: 19.5in Pit to pit: 23in Length: 29.5in Sleeve: 26.5in
