Jean Paul Gaultier

Jean Paul Gaultier is many things. A fashion rebel and renegade, he burst into the scene without formal training, but with the passion and talent to impress designers like Jean Patou and Pierre Cardin. After working with these names, Gaultier decided to claim the spotlight for himself and launch his own label. Also known as the Prince of Perversity, his avant-garde designs and unconventional materials took the fashion world by storm. His is the mind behind many of France’s Eurovision contestants’ costumes, as well as Madonna’s iconic conical bra and corset worn on her 1990 Blond Ambition tour. Gaultier offers everything from edgy streetwear to classy haute couture, along with ambitious, unique fragrances.
