Jean Paul Gaultier
S1 E1:
Jean Paul Gaultier is the French king of convention twisting: his runway shows have proudly highlighted tattooed and voluptuous models such as rock star, Beth Ditto, showcased gender-bending skirt-clad men, and featured infamously conical corsetry, as immortalized by Madonna’s 1990 Blond Ambition Tour. However unconventional, Gaultier’s designs continue to garner international acclaim, from his famed corset-shaped fragrance bottle to the Montreal Museum of Fine Art’s exhibition dedicated to the celebrated couturier, entitled “The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk”.
