ABOUT THE DESIGNER

Jean-Paul Gaultier (born April 24, 1952, in Arcueil, Val-de-Marne, FRANCE) is a French haute couture fashion designer.

Gaultier never received formal training as a designer but he started sending sketches to famous couturiers at an early age. Pierre Cardin hired him as an assistant in 1970. He worked with Jean Patou in 1971.

His first collection was shown in 1976 and he has long been known as the enfant terrible (bad boy) of French fashion. Many of Gaultier's later collections were based on popular culture. While his Haute Couture collections are very formal, he still infuses them with a unique and playful feeling.

Jean-Paul Gaultier was responsible for creating iconic images in the 1990's and made sculptured costumes for Madonna for her Blond Ambition Tour that included her infamous cone-bra.


Gaultier also has costume designer on his resumé having designed the wardrobe of Luc Besson's The Fifth Element and several other films.

He currently designs for three collections: Gaultier's own couture and ready-to-wear lines, as well as the clothing line for Hermès, which he took over in 2003.
