DESCRIPTION:
The publication also includes two interviews with Gaultier, one by Florence Müller, art historian, and the other by Thierry-Maxime Loriot, as well as an interview with Valerie Steele, fashion historian and director of New York’s Museum at Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT). Dubbed the enfant terrible of fashion ever since his prêt-à-porter collections were first shown in 1976, Jean Paul Gaultier, whose avant-garde and bold fashions very early on reflected the issues facing contemporary society, is one of the leading designers in recent decades.Published by the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Abrams in conjunction with the first-ever retrospective on Gaultier, this stunning hardcover book in a slipcase explores the ties between the designer and the pop/rock music scene, film, and dance, and sheds light on his sources of inspiration, which are as eclectic as they are impertinent.The first major monograph on Gaultier brings together archival documents and over fifty interviews with Gaultier’s muses and colleagues, as well as the artists he has created costumes for: Pedro Almodóvar, Catherine Deneuve, Madonna, Helen Mirren, Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Martin Margiela, Pierre Cardin, Dita Von T

"The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier" according to Lilly Ford. This is a huge and very heavy book tracing the development of Gaultier's fashion designs. I can't comment on the text as I hadn't got through it yet, but generally speaking there are various interviews with Gaultier as well as comments by some of the celebrities he designed for. The photos as with all other fashion coffee-table books are the main attraction here, and the book is loaded with hundreds of large full color stunning photos showing Gaultier's various collections over the years. There are also small photos alo. "Another Winner" according to Evelyn. Yet another amazing book. The photography is incredible as are the fashions. If you are a lover of fashion or photography it is a must have..
