Jean Paul Gaultier

The seaming. Rather than hiding structure, the house draws it: vertical panels run from bust to hip, cups are shaped and sometimes conical, and laces or hooks are left visible instead of concealed at the back. Some pieces are genuinely boned and constructed; others reproduce the same lines as a print or a seam on soft jersey, giving the look without the rigidity. Both approaches are house signatures.

Gently and cold. Fine mesh snags on jewellery, zips and rough nails, so turn it inside out, put it in a mesh laundry bag and use a delicate cycle, or wash it by hand. Skip fabric softener, which coats the fibres and dulls a print. Never wring it out; press the water through it flat and dry away from direct heat or sun, since heat is what makes printed and stretch fabrics go slack.

Yes. Every piece DIHSAN sells is the brand's own — genuine designer product, with the maker's hardware, stamping and markings intact. Nothing is a reproduction or a licensed imitation.

No. Duties are included on every DIHSAN order, and US orders include taxes as well.
