1990s Basquiat Mesh Maxi Dress

Jean Paul Gaultier

Vintage 1990s Basquiat Mesh Maxi Dress

Size M

A rare and highly collectible piece from Jean Paul Gaultier’s 1990s collections, featuring the iconic Basquiat-inspired all-over print. This maxi-length mesh dress is an emblem of Gaultier’s boundary-pushing vision—melding art, fashion, and subculture into wearable statements. The bold, colorful graphic print pays homage to Basquiat’s raw and expressive artistry, making this dress not only a garment but also a piece of cultural history.

Crafted in Italy from 100% nylon mesh, the dress offers stretch and body-hugging comfort, enhancing its sculptural silhouette. Despite being over 25 years old, it remains in good overall condition. There are some small flaws in the mesh (see last pictures), but they are barely noticeable due to the stretchable fabric and busy all-over print. These details are consistent with the age and delicate nature of archival mesh pieces.

This dress represents not only the daring spirit of 1990s Jean Paul Gaultier but also a wearable tribute to Basquiat’s groundbreaking artistry.
