Couture Snob : Jean Paul Gaultier Gabardine Trench Coat

You may own a trench coat but you have not experienced the true seduction of one until you put on a Jean Paul Gaultier trench coat. My heart stopped when I saw this creamy trench from JPG's Spring collection. I have a similar version in black from two years ago and it is still one of my most beloved pieces. It is the way JPG tailors fabric around the female figure, round or slim, tall or short, his coat is flattering on all. I wear my black one both as a dress and as a coat as often as I can. I feel instantly glamorous and mysterious and yes, very chic. Like mine, the one above has a wide portrait collar which lends sophistication not to mention will keep you from looking like a lab assistant. Little details such as the pin tucked waist in front and back keep the lines feminine and utterly alluring. The color is creamy and not as white as it appears in the photos above. What a perfect coat for Easter, don't you think? Jean Paul Gaultier Gabardine Trench Coat $2990 at eLuxury.

  • oh la la, how chic! J'adore JPG!

  • I also have a trench from JPG. Truly classic, never goes out of style. I love the white one also. Perfect for spring.

  • Question ladies? When you guys start Couture Snob .com will it be REAL HAUTE COUTURE. or just highend expensive READY TO WEAR? Please dont try to be "people pleasers " and talk about High End READY TO WEAR. GO ALL OUT! PLEASE! :)

    FYI that jacket is beautiful!

  • Pam, I've been waiting for you to ask that question for weeks now :)

    It will be a blend of Haute Couture and High end ready to wear. We aim to educate the world on Haute Couture but to also offer pieces for daily living.

    I have an entry coming up on Vintage Haute Couture from the 50s and 60s, the height of Haute couture. I will post it this weekend so stay tuned :)

  • Lovely!

  • Sounds great! I have been meaning to ask that question since forever! LOL.

    Me and my BFF's can't wait! You guys are very brave , and WE LOVE IT !


    P.S. The goal in life is to be able to wear head to toe Haute Couture everyday. NO? :)

  • I just could not imagine having this white version.My flatcoated retriever 2 years just can´t resist hopping every time all over me every time we meet. Many times a bit bothersome,but that´s the way he expresses his feelings!

  • Love, love, love the trench. So classic, and so crisp in white! The collar is beautiful!
