These fingerless gloves feature a hybrid construction combining black leather palm sections with olive-green fabric panels across the back of the hand. The design incorporates multiple adjustable straps with buckle closures at the wrist, creating a utilitarian aesthetic. The fingerless cut exposes the fingertips while maintaining coverage across the knuckles and palm. Black elastic elements provide stretch and secure fit around the wrist opening. The tactical styling reflects 1990s cyberpunk fashion sensibilities, merging military-inspired functionality with futuristic design elements typical of Gaultier's avant-garde approach to costume design.
These pieces share the same post-apocalyptic fever dream, where military surplus meets club kid rebellion. The tactical gloves' olive drab panels and exposed fingertips echo the jacket's utilitarian straps and that translucent panel hanging like a deflated gas mask — both garments treating the body as something that needs protecting while simultaneously exposing it.
