Designer DNA. Jean Paul Gaultier. Volume 1, Episode 12
Description
"Designers are characterized by certain trademarks that remain consistent throughout their careers, trademarks that are at the very core of their "design DNA." In this episode, we explore the distinctive style of Jean Paul Gaultier, who is often referred to as the fashion world's "enfant terrible." He is a designer whose theatrical shows shake up the conventional outlook on style and break down the barriers on what is considered "beautiful." From conical bras to Madonna's corsets, Gaultier took corsetry out of the boudoir and put it on display. In Gaultier's hands, the nautical stripe became a decoration that was made for more than just sailing. He is a consummate rule-breaker, and can mix multicultural references like no other. But it is his playful wit and adoration for Paris and French culture that is second to none in the fashion world."--Publisher website.
