He is the designer of the late twentieth century and the man behind Madonna's transformation from East Village punk to fashion maven and pure blonde ambition. Outrageous, irreverent, and witty, Jean-Paul Gaultier has been designing for men and women, stars and celebrities, and movies and music for the last twenty years, producing collections of total originality which shock and inspire. Not only has he influenced the way we dress, he has totally changed the way we perceive fashion, sex-and ourselves. The only illustrated biography of Gaultier and the first full-length monograph of a fashion icon, Jean-Paul Gaultier chronicles his extraordinary life through beautiful, full-color sketches, photographs from the runway and backstage, and renowned fashion historian Colin McDowell's engaging texts. This is a totally original portrait of a one-of-a kind cultural icon.
