Famous for having brought high fashion to the masses and street style to the catwalk, Jean Paul Gaultier has an unrivalled ability to create a harmonious balance between the radical and the traditional. Jean Paul Gaultier's themed collections have drawn inspiration from the most eclectic sources, from French cultural icons to the London street scene. Famous for his skirts for men and recreating underwear as outerwear, his clothes transcend the traditional boundaries of gender and fashion.
His spring summer 1990 womenswear collection was inspired by the painter Richard Lindner for the graphic style and bold colour. The A/W 1991-92 collection took inspiration from paintings of Toulouse Lautrec.
