It was the hot ticket of the Haute Couture 2020 collections: Jean-Paul Gaultier’s final catwalk show, after a 50-year career. Paris's Châtelet Theatre was packed to the rafters and the atmosphere was electric as the French designer unveiled a collection made up of 200 pieces, all featuring his trademark details: the iconic Breton striped shirt, underwear worn as outerwear, the conical bra and embroidered jeans. Everyone is now wondering what he's going to do next. Watch our show to find out!
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.
Karl Lagerfeld has described Haute Couture as ‘dreamed reality’. This Chanel wedding dress … a riot of embroidery and feathers that took fifteen people one month to make! It’s a visual feast for the label’s 1000 or so anonymous clients. Starring Viktor & Rolf, Serkan Cura, On Aura Tout Vu, Yiqing Yin, Bouchra Jarrar, Dice Kayek, Stéphanie Coudert, Versace, Julien Fournié, Elie Saab, Alexandre Vauthier.
From the sidewalk to the catwalk - the first ever retrospective dedicated to French couturier Jean-Paul Gaultier opens in Montreal. Also, a graffiti artist in Bulgaria paints superheros on a Soviet war statue. Finally, we discover one of the longest criminal and judicial sagas in modern French history: the film "Omar Killed Me" hits cinemas.
