The collection had the lattice panels set into everything from patent leather Army-type boots to flip-up and strapped on superhero-inspired masks. JPG describes the fish netting as, “Windows on the skin.” Gaultier’s hosiery all included [fishnet or sheer panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elevated-luxury-tights). The interesting thing was the way the sheerness was executed in strips, all the way up either the front of the back of the leg. The web-like pattern appeared in quilted jackets, handbags, sleeve details, and coat collars.
