Lantink was born in The Hague, Netherlands. He attended the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and later graduated from the Sandberg Instituut in Amsterdam in 2017.[2] During his studies, he developed a distinctive style characterized by a blend of avant-garde aesthetics and environmental consciousness.
Career
In 2018, Lantink gained recognition for designing the “vagina” trousers worn by Janelle Monáe in her "Pynk" music video.[3][4] Since then, he has collaborated with artists including Beyoncé, Billie Eilish, and Doja Cat.[5]
Lantink is noted for his emphasis on sustainability, often repurposing deadstock fabrics and pre-existing garments to create new designs. His work aims to challenge conventional fashion norms by merging diverse materials and references into unique, reconstructed pieces.[6]
In 2024, Lantink received the Karl Lagerfeld Special Jury Prize from LVMH.[7] In 2025, he won the International Woolmark Prize.[8][9] In April 2025, Lantink was announced as the new creative director of the Jean Paul Gaultier brand.[10]
