Jean Paul Gaultier
Description
Jean Paul Gaultier is the quintessential bad boy of French fashion and one of the industry's most flamboyant characters. His Gallic charm and tongue-in-cheek witticisms are reflected in collections that are as full of fantasy as they are of classical poise. This program profiles the fashion designer who put men in skirts and introduced lingerie as a fashion statement - a darling of the celebrity firmament with Madonna and Björk as two of his faithful followers. Yet in spite of all his outrageousness, Gaultier is a consummate French original who delights in mixing classic design with the avant-garde.
