Jean Paul Gaultier and Duran Lantink, two designers who have made a craft of misbehaving, sat down together for a conversation. They talked about the pleasures of rattling fashion's establishment, the narrow rule of good taste, and the real value of breaking the rules now and then. For readers whose closets run from Palm Beach linen to Aspen shearling, it's a useful reminder that some of the most memorable looks were never meant to be safe.

With reporting from Harper's Bazaar.
