FASHION DESIGNERS

Featuring unpublished and iconic images by some of the greatest modern fashion photographers and artists, this timely tribute offers a dazzling review of more than five decades of the “enfant terrible” of French fashion. In his avant-garde style imbued with humanism and humour, Jean Paul Gaultier challenged, reinterpreted, and transgressed not only the codes of haute couture and ready-to-wear but also those of our society, creating an inclusive fashion accompanied by a social message formed by pluralistic beauties. Whether it is cinema or nature, punks or Parisiennes, animals or men wearing skirts, the sources of Gaultier’s inspiration seem endless and inexhaustible.
