Women's Printed Knit Mesh Maxi Skirt

Product Insights & Style Tips

Jean Paul Gaultier’s printed knit mesh maxi skirt is a kinetic mix of art and edge, channeling runway eccentricity into wearable daylight drama. The lightweight polyamide mesh has that slightly sheer, barely-there texture that feels slinky yet sculptural, moving just enough to play up the bold print—a hypnotic collision of horizontal stripes and surrealist nature motifs. The light blue multicolor palette veers between tranquil and electric, instantly recognizable in signature Gaultier fashion: graphic, collectible, and a little daring.

With a banded waist and easy pull-on silhouette, the skirt skims the hips before floating out, inviting movement without weighing down or clinging at the wrong places. The semi-sheer mesh encourages unexpected layering: think a high-cut bodysuit, textured tights, or even a bikini for resort agendas. It slips seamlessly from an art opening to a rooftop hang, stashing flat in a shoulder bag and never losing its attitude. The length adds drama, but the fabrication and fit keep things breezy—showing off what you want and veiling what you don’t, all while letting the Gaultier print do the real talking.

This piece taps into the new wave of maximalist mesh dominating current moodboards, but with the irreverent twist that’s Gaultier to the core. Pair with little more than modernist jewelry and sharp boots, or layer with a slouchy denim jacket to nod at vintage Jean Paul subversion—a look that feels both archival and right-now.
