A leading figure in French fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier has, since the end of the 1980s, developed a playful, unbridled and fascinating universe which has considerably marked the world of fashion and, well beyond, the pop culture and aesthetics of his time. From its legendary collaborations with big stars like Madonna, to its most remarkable creations, including its codes, like the sailor shirt or the men's skirt. This book shows the wide influence of this creator, his inspiration as well as the great moments of his life and creation.
