Jean Paul Gaultier (1x5)

Air date: Jul 02, 2018

Joker, genius, designer and presenter. Parisian provocateur Jean Paul Gaultier has been shaking up the fashion industry for decades. Becoming a household name in the 80s and 90s, you'll recognise his signature Breton stripe or his bleach blonde crop before his designs; fashion dripping with drama, spectacle and a cheeky wink. Join i-D's Steve Salter on a trip to Gaultier's Parisian atelier for a chat about his early influences, his clubbing days in London, and exactly how he went from attaching a homemade conical bra onto his childhood teddy bear, to designing tour outfits for Madonna. Including a fashion film with some of his most iconic looks, and contributions from JPG collaborators Stephen Jones, Erin O'Connor and Beth Ditto, we explore the world of fashion's most fabulous designer.
