  • 1991 Jean Paul Gaultier Documented Cher Worn Black Velvet Corset Cage Jacket

    ID: 0109242
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

    Own an iconic, well documented piece of fashion and celebrity history. This important, Jean Paul Gaultier black silk-velvet corset cage jacket, from his highly acclaimed 1990 fall-winter runway collection, was personally owned by his good friend Cher. This epic piece was worn by the iconic superstar to the 1991 Billboard Music Awards as she presented an award to fellow diva, Mariah Carey. Not only is the gorgeous jacket a masterpiece in design but it was created by one of the biggest names in fashion. Jean Paul Gaultier is described as an "enfant terrible" of the industry, known for his unconventional designs with motifs including corsets, marinières, and tin cans. Gaultier redefined the corset as a symbol of female liberation and empowerment. The fabric used for this jacket is sensational; the highest quality fully-lined ultra soft silk velvet. The front is designed to simulate a laced-up corset and is accented with black corded toggle style loops. The bare cut-out construction is so provocative and eye-catching. The back has a center waist belt for more of a nipped fit if desired. The lean, long sleeves mixed with the nehru collar also gives the jacket an elevated military vibe which I love. With Cher worn garments recently fetching over $100,000 at auction, here is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a wearable, well-documented jacket complete with a detailed certificate of authenticity. This is such a museum worthy piece of fashion and celebrity history that will instantly become a favorite in your collection.
