Quando Pataugas incontra Jean-Paul Gaultier

Two legends for a daring challenge!

A few months ago, the famous French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier and the mythical shoes brand Pataugas had announced their desire to work hand in hand thanks to a charming video broadcasted on the network. In a launderette, an Adonis wearing the famous Jean-Paul Gaultier sailor stripes was meeting an Aphrodite with Pataugas at her feet…

For this first collaboration, Jean-Paul Gaultier has decided to focus his work on sailor stripes and fishnet, two iconic themes the designer adores. He has reworked the collector styles built upon two emblematic Pataugas soles: the Authentique rubber lug sole and the Boost vintage shoe sole. This summer, you are going to feel over-the-top walking down the streets: indeed, each Pataugas shoe in this collection features a transparent Jean-Paul Gaultier tag on the back of the heel.

To share the work of this exciting collaboration, Pataugas has decided to create a limited edition of exclusive canvas bags made up from the cloth poster which was hanging on the wall of the Galeries Lafayette Haussmann in Paris. Since Monday, June 28th, there is a daily free bag giveaway on Pataugas’ Facebook Fan Page. You know what they say: better late than never!
