about
One of France's most famous exports, Jean Paul Gaultier is much more than just a fashion figure. In the UK, he is arguably best known for his kitsch TV series, Eurotrash, which he presented with fellow Frenchman Antoine de Caunes, in the mid-Nineties. Born on 24 April 1952 in Acueil, France, Gaultier started his career in 1970 as a design assistant at Pierre Cardin. Following a stint at Jean Patou (working under Michel Gomez) and a brief return to Cardin, he set up his own label in 1976, rejecting his training in favour of a style which drew more from the London street scene than Parisian couture. Though technically brilliant, Gaultier has always taken great delight in parodying the fashion establishment. In fact, he is credited with redefining many fashion conventions. In the Eighties, he recreated underwear as outerwear, with a series of designs which culminated in thecorset dress and black studded bra made famous by Madonna in her Blonde Ambition tour of 1990. He also attempted to dismantle the clichés of masculine styling, creating a skirt for men beginning in 1984. In 1989, he released a record, Aow Tou Dou Zat (or "How To Do That") in collaboration with producer Tony Mansfield. Technically, the album is a series of remixes, utilizing an audio interview of Gaultier for the basis of the tracks. Remixers who appeared on the record include Norman "Fatboy Slim" Cook, Mark Saunders and Tony Moran for Latin Rascals. Gaultier has also designed the costumes for many films
