Fashion's ‘Enfant Terrible’
From the uniform of the masses to the dreamlike fashions showcased in his catwalk shows, Jean Paul Gaultier remains convinced that fashion will always have a special place in our lives:
“It’s about a need for visual recognition, staking a claim”.
But the couturier refuses to be defined as either political or provocative.
A man of conviction, he sees himself more as a revolutionary, sytematically calling into question clichés, standards, codes, conventions and traditions.
He turns, shifts and flips them round - even destroys them - in his bid to reinvent them.
Paris is the promised land for the suburbanite captivated by the theatre of life.
As a couturier, he never tires of unveiling all the richness by looking with fresh eyes at the City of Light, a subject that’s inspired artists countless times before.
But the shining city burning bright with the light of luxury is not enough for him.
He also loves the grey and white haze, the wet pavements, the working-class neighbourhoods and the murkier areas.
With Gaultier, Paris and its vibrant suburbs merge with the glittering circles of high society
