Jean Paul Gaultier: The Complete Collections

After Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Chloé and Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier is the tenth volume in a series of high-quality, linen-bound books that offer an unparalleled overview of the collections of the world's top fashion houses through original catwalk photographs. The coffee table book 'Jean Paul Gaultier Catwalk offers the first-ever comprehensive overview of Jean Paul Gaultier's womenswear collections, from his debut in the late 1970s to his farewell fashion show in 2020.

Often presented as the "enfant terrible" of French fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier radically renewed, revitalized and reshaped the possibilities of haute couture beginning in the 1980s. He blurred the lines between masculine and feminine, high and low culture and celebrated models of all ages and ethnic backgrounds - he even brought icons such as Madonna and Björk to his catwalk.

The definitive publication "Jean Paul Gaultier" opens with a brief history of the fashion house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Jean Paul Gaultier, after which the collections themselves are discussed chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text revealing its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully selected catwalk photographs showing hundreds of spectacular garments, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs - and, of course, the top models who wore them on the catwalk, from Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss to Gigi and Bella Hadid. An extensive reference section, including a comprehensive index, concludes the book.
