Jean-Paul Gaultier presented his Spring/Summer 2017 Haute Couture collection in the brand's headquarters' party room. The show depicted a fairytale-like tale of a city-dweller who escapes to the countryside and ultimately marries a local man. While the show began with Gaultier's signature tailoring, many pieces featured pleated ribbons to add nuance. Iridescent pleated ribbons and faded pleated ribbons with a denim-like appearance were sewn all over, appearing on a variety of pieces. Vintage Irish lace, a favorite of Gaultier's, was used on pantsuits and pagoda-sleeved tops with silver leaf detailing, each serving as a key look. A wide variety of liberating and hedonistic pieces, often featuring Hawaiian-inspired floral prints of hibiscus and poppies, were introduced midway through the show. The collection included muslin suits, dresses studded with Swarovski crystals, and suits in jacquard brocade, as well as peasant-style dresses printed with poppies and blue skies, and sunflower dresses with corsets. Gaultier's signature cone bra was transformed this season into a country-style dress adorned with pleated ribbons. For the finale, Coco Rocha, wearing a mariée made of horsehair lace, appeared on a handcart pushed by a male model in overalls, to the delight of the audience.
