Jean Paul Gaultier has been ridiculed for its collection of ‘nude’ outfits costing up to £500 – as shoppers say it would be ‘cheaper to go out naked!’
Jean Paul Gaultier is ridiculed for selling clothes that make shoppers look naked.
The French fashion designer has released a range of bizarre clothes that leave nothing to the imagination.
The unique range of jumpsuits, dresses and tops shows a naked body and will certainly attract the attention of many passers-by on the street.
There are more than 100 items in the ‘Tattoo Collection’, with the most expensive item, the Body Tattoo Jumpsuit, costing £519.64.
The design features breasts with pierced nipples, plus female genitals – on the back the material has the outline of a buttocks.

The neck, arms, hips and legs also feature fake body art.
A shopper called Becky said: ‘Much cheaper to just step out naked’.
Kate, another insecure fashion fan, added, “Ummmm,” while someone else called Simon said, “I don’t see anything.”
Also in the collection is the Long Body Tattoo Dress for €590 (£510.81) – with the same pattern and a Short Dress version for €450 (£389.60), plus a bodysuit for €390 (£337.66 ).
If you want to look like you’re only exposing half of your body, you can opt for the crop top version for €320 (£277.05).
On Jean Paul Gaultier’s website it is modeled with a long green skirt.
All pieces are available in two different skin tones ‘light nude’ and ‘dark nude’, making them look realistic for everyone.
The crazy outfits are available in sizes XXS to XXL and the product description reads: Stretchy fit, round neck. Long sleeves, metal zipper at the back. Materials 78% polyamide, 22% elastane, made in Italy.’

The Tattoo Collection was unveiled on October 6 and is said to be ‘inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier’s archival collections, designed to fit firmly into the present’.
The brand’s website states: ‘We all have memories rooted in the universe of Jean Paul Gaultier.
‘Tattoos, conical bras, piercings… just as many iconic gimmicks and body decorations that the House revisits to offer exclusive reinterpretations and reissues.
‘The Tattoo collection explores the archive of corsets and form-fitting pieces to create a versatile, city-ready wardrobe.’
While these designs featuring nipples and genitals are the most shocking, the collection also offers some tamer options.
There is a ‘Heraldry Tattoo Dress’ that makes your body look inked, without the illusion that the wearer is completely naked.
There is also a range of jeans and jackets in the Tattoo Collection, which are more modest.
It is not the first time that the French designer brand has attracted attention with realistic-looking designs.
A mystery man at Jean Paul Gaultier’s show during Paris Fashion Week stunned audiences in July with a full suit.
The unidentified man, who appeared quite angry, was photographed outside the event, which attracts a slew of A-list models and celebrities.
The suit – which made him look naked from afar – was lifelike and even had replica nipples.
More recently, in September, models from across London stunned the fashion community by walking the catwalk during Fashion Week in a series of bizarre looks.
The Prophetik’s Show, ‘Let The Be Naked’, surprised onlookers after a model rode down the catwalk on a white horse, while other bizarre looks included a crocheted headpiece and using hair as a face veil.
