On July 5th, Jean Paul Gaultier's Gaultier Paris held its Fall/Winter 2017-18 Haute Couture collection show at the brand's Paris headquarters' party hall. The collection featured a variety of pieces that showcased Gaultier's signature ideas, with motifs of snow, mountains, and winter sports. While Scandinavian-inspired knit jackets and Aran knit tops are familiar pieces in Gaultier's collections, what was surprising was that they were never rehashed or repeated. While the mink knit jackets of previous collections were made from ripped muslin and knitted into ribbons, or printed on chainmail and embroidered with beads, this season's Aran knitwear was made from hand-folded muslin and embroidered to create a raised texture. A top resembling a down jacket was embroidered with metallic painted chicken feathers, demonstrating Gaultier's signature trompe l'oeil aesthetic.

A prominent silhouette this season was the belvedere shoulder, with semicircular panels on the shoulder. It appeared as a detail on many pieces, including a coat made of sequins to represent an avalanche, and a purple velvet dress with 3D padding.

The final look was a polka-dot tulle wedding dress. Coco Rocha wore it for the finale, riding a tricycle covered in the same material as the dress.
