Famous for Madonna's cone bras, blue and white stripy T-shirts, saintly models and corsets, "L’Enfant terrible" of French fashion Jean-Paul Gaultier is retiring from the catwalk. His final haute couture show, which marked 50 years of his career, took place this week in Paris. Fashion writers Susie Lau and Alice Pfeiffer speak to Eve Jackson about the end of a fashion era.
He's dressed the likes of Madonna and Yvette Horner, and created the wardrobes for Luc Besson's films. His winter 2018 Haute Couture collection is constructed around a single item of clothing: the iconic tuxedo. Jean Paul Gaultier tells the story of men and women who are free to express themselves, centred around a simple idea: being at ease in your own skin. FRANCE 24 takes you to check out his latest creations.

The real challenge for designers is finding silhouettes that reflect the spirit of the times. This year Raf Simons for Dior took a gamble, combining sartorial references from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Breaking with tradition, Jean Paul Gaultier took the figure of the bride as his central inspiration ….Quite the move for someone who’d previously only ever treated marriage as comic material!
