A rare late-1990s Jean Paul Gaultier Maille Femme mesh top featuring a saturated photographic landscape composition in panels of sunset pink, lagoon blue, palm silhouettes, and acid-green shoreline, executed in the designer’s signature stretch tulle with a fine, feather-light hand; the piece reflects the visual language of Gaultier’s SS1999 tropical capsule, known for seaside imagery and heat-washed colour gradients, and embodies the era’s technical experimentation with photo-printing on mesh, balancing translucency and structure through a single-layer construction with a bound scoop neckline and full-length sleeves, rendering it an exceptional archival example of Gaultier’s late-90s textile innovation and collectible graphic work.

Pieces from this specific late-1990s Maille Femme tropical series are scarce, with most surviving examples held in private collections; the colouring and print placement align with documented SS1999 Soleil/Maille silhouettes featuring beach, water, and botanical imagery, though this exact graphic has not surfaced in runway or lookbook records — adding to its rarity and collectibility.
