A gifted child who generously gives away his talent, a powerful motor when it comes to work and a heat-giving convector in life, an artist who turns the surrounding reality into 3D drawings in his notebooks, a self-taught Dadaist, Gaultier has, according to Karl Lagerfeld , "vision and perspicacity." Jean-Paul was a tsunami that completely transformed the French landscape: first he rewrote the grammar of prêt-à-porter, and then the vocabulary of haute couture. Over the past twenty years, only two Frenchmen have managed to conquer the American market - Christian Lacroix and Jean-Paul Gaultier. But this feat does not particularly excite him. The avant-garde artist, who accidentally became a classic, continues his special path. On the one hand, he frees the body and morals, overcoming all prohibitions, on the other hand, he laces his grandmother’s corset tighter.
