Early Career

Jean-Paul Gaultier was not formally trained as a designer, but because of his natural talent, he worked as an assistant to Pierre Cardin in 1970. His first individual collection premiered in 1976.

The Look

His characteristic style is edgy, daring, and playful with his collections drawing together looks from street wear, lingerie, and rock 'n' roll aesthetics.

The Buzz

Gaultier has been both praised and criticized for using unconventional models for his exhibitions. He often uses older men and full-figured women, models that are pierced and tattooed, and bends gender roles by having his models cross-dress.

Madonna and Marilyn Manson are some of his most famous clients.
