JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

Known as fashion's enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier launched his eponymous brand in 1976 and rose to attention with extraordinary speed. Influenced by the experience of joining Pierre Cardin at age 18 and being mentored by him, Gaultier pursued an inclusive, genre-crossing vision. Over the past half century, his brand has presented countless iconic designs that exquisitely combine sexuality, drama, and glamour.
