Duran Lantink has been officially appointed as the permanent Creative Director of Jean Paul Gaultier. Personally chosen by Gaultier himself, the announcement confirms a rumor that had been circulating in the fashion world for weeks.
The 38-year-old Dutch designer brings with him a bold, unconventional vision nurtured since childhood.
