Presented in Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring/Summer 1998 collection, this belt belongs to a period in which the house continued to treat accessories as extensions of its broader vocabulary of religious symbolism, ornament, and bodily framing. Throughout the 1990s, Gaultier repeatedly returned to devotional and ecclesiastical motifs, translating them into objects that moved between adornment, costume, and fetishized utility. This piece condenses that language into a wide leather belt punctuated with suspended pendants, including rosary-like crosses, medals, keys, and anchor charms. The result is both decorative and structural, using hardware and symbolic objects to reframe the waist as a site of display.
