Designer

Jean Paul Gaultier was born in 1952 near Paris. He started his career, aged 18, with an apprenticeship in the fashion house of Pierre Cardin. In 1976 Gaultier showed his debut collection but did not establish his own design house until 1982. He soon became known as "l'infant terrible" of fashion because of his penchant for challenging the then-standard views of fashion. Many of his collections show women-

adopting masculine attire. Gaultier became internationally recognised when he designed the costumes for Madonna's Blond Ambition tour in 1990. In 1997 he showed his debut couture collection. From 2003 to 2010 Gaultier was the creative director of Hermès. He created also costumes for Australian pop singer Kylie Minogue and for a number of films. Gaultier closed the ready-to-wear labels to focus on haute couture in 2015.
