These naked catwalk moments prove that sometimes the boldest choice for a fashion designer is to forgo clothes altogether.

The past few years have been monumental for body liberation. Along with the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/music/yumi-interview-2019">body positvity</a> movement that&rsquo;s instilling confidence in women of all sizes, modesty is being redefined as a personal choice rather than a requirement for self-respect.
The fashion industry, however, has been practicing this for decades. From well-known '90s fashion provocateurs like <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/men/john-galliano-s-first-menswear-collection-for-maison-margiela">John Galliano</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/jean-paul-gaultier-winnie-harlow-coco-rocha-documentary-loic-prigent">Jean Paul Gaultier</a> to <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/practical-uses-for-the-new-impractical-jacquemus-bag-2019">Jacquemus'</a> artistic interpretations, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL gathers 12&nbsp;topless moments in runway history&nbsp;that <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/no-bra-day-braless-celebrities-jennifer-aniston-kendall-jenner">bared it all</a>.
