Eastpak and Jean Paul Gaultier to collaborate again

Jean Paul Gaultier may have left ready-to-wear behind to focus on haute couture, but his designs will still be available to a broader clientele thanks to collaborations with fashion and accessories brands.

The latest example is his new partnership with Eastpak. Due out ahead of the Spring-Summer 2015 season, the result of the tie-up will be a collection of backpacks inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier’s most iconic pieces.

The first Eastpak X Jean Paul Gaultier line will go on sale in a very limited edition from February, followed by the main collection in April. Part of the proceeds from the sale of these backpacks will go to the charity Designers Against Aids.
