Jean Paul Gaultier’s spring 1998 show referenced iconoclasts of the past and present, focusing on Marilyn Manson and Frida Khalo. The latter received visceral tribute throughout the show, with numerous models sporting unibrows and crying tears of faux blood. Gothic renderings of Christian lore — crowns of thorns and Christ’s face frozen in agony — defined the runway. The mood was underscored by intricate, romantic jewelry that signified the wearer to be in mourning — large black cross earrings, for example — and funeral veils.

Body-revealing mesh tops were a staple of Gaultier’s aesthetic throughout the 1990s. This mesh tank top is completely sheer, and fits tight to its wearer.
