Couture designer extraordinaire Jean-Paul Gaultier is never shy about finding new and shocking ways to display his creations. Fitting, then, that some new Gaultier lingerie pieces are featured prominently in a fashion editorial layout in the latest Elle magazine.

Shot by Serge Leblon with model Yulia Kharlapanova, the Elle spread is titled “Summer’s Bright, Structured Separates” and uses a gritty, barren urban landscape for some very revealing episodes of self-expression.

The shots above feature Gaultier’s satin bra tops, priced at $1,120. You can view the full Elle spread here.
