Dutch fashion designer Duran Lantink has been named the new Creative Director of Jean Paul Gaultier, and will debut his first collection for the fashion house in September this year.

Lantink commented 'I consider Jean Paul Gaultier a genius and part of a generation that kicked down doors, so people like us can walk through them freely and be who we are without apology. Stepping into the role of creative director is a true honour. It's the brand that brings together different disciplines around fashion to create cultural movements, changing the language of clothes and how we wear them in the streets'.
