Perfume bottle, United Kingdom

This pink perfume bottle in the shape of a woman’s torso was created by the fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. Said to have been inspired by the image of pop star Madonna, it is a modern version of a 1930s bottle created for Schiaparelli’s ‘Shocking’ perfume, which was modelled on the actress Mae West. This bottle was purchased in London in 1999.
