JPG Moves On

Jean Paul Gaultier´s first ready-to-wear venture since he shuttered his eponymous line last year will be withJapanese retailer Seven and i Holdings, it was announced today.

The capsule collection is slated to comprise over 50 items and will be called "Jean Paul Gaultier for Sept Premières" - citing the new company that will launch under the Seven and iHoldings umbrella at the same time, reports WWD. Ranging in price from $32 to $250, the collection - which is currently planned to last for two seasons - aims to provide high quality clothing at affordable prices.

Available from later this year, it will be sold at Seven and the iHolding-owned Sogo, Seibu and Ito Yokado department stores in Japan, as well as its 7-11 convenience stores, meaning customers will be able to order online and pick up from one of the 17,000 outlets in Japan. Here's hoping the collection makes its way to European shores.
