Encouraged at an early age by his maternal grandmother, Gaultier began sending his sketches to designers. One of whom – Space age vant-gardist Peirre Cardin – hired the untrained Gaultier as an assistant on his 18th birthday. After working at Jacques Esterel and Jean Patou in the early 1970s, Gaultier debuted his inaugural collection in 1976 at a planetarium in Paris,” says the website.According to the website, by the early 1980d, Gultier developed a reputation as fashion’s enfant terrible – thanks to his surprising applications of unconventional materials, sharp tailoring skills, and truly eclectic sensibility. In the 1990s, Gaultier costumed Madonna’s Blonde Ambition tour and Luc Besson’s sci-fi film The Fifth Element presented his first haute couture collection and launched a hugely successful line of fragrance.Inspired by the exchange of cultures on Paris’s streets, Gaultier’s designs bring together punk, bondage, and divergent global communities. Describing his “obsessions” to The New Yorker Gaultier listed: “flesh, ethnicity, different kinds of global beauty, cinema, my interest with Madonna, tattoos, Parisienee, the male as an object, all that kind of thing.” He is considered an originator of modern street style and one of the most influential fashion designers of all time.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the collection   https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
