A true archive piece from Jean Paul Gaultier's golden age, this 57-4172 frame perfectly illustrates the French designer's avant-garde approach during the 1990s. Renowned for their innovative design and architectural details, Jean Paul Gaultier glasses from this era are now among the most sought-after vintage accessories by collectors and archive fashion enthusiasts.

Made in Japan to the exceptional quality standards that contributed to the global renown of Gaultier eyewear, this frame stands out for its sophisticated metal structure, sculptural details on the temples, and glacier blue tinted lenses that give it a futuristic look emblematic of the decade. Produced in limited quantities and having become extremely difficult to find on the market, the 57 series references remain prized pieces within the world of collectible eyewear.

Today, Jean Paul Gaultier creations from the 1990s are experiencing a considerable resurgence of interest among international collectors, stylists, and archive fashion enthusiasts, consolidating their status as a particularly sought-after fashion investment.
