Established by its namesake in 1976, the house of Jean Paul Gaultier is a Parisian paradox-fusing tropes of French style with a distinct rebel spirit, couture quality with street smart, shock with chic. Known for wicked tailoring and anti-establishment stances, the designer gained a reputation as French fashion’s ‘Enfant Terrible’ that inspires the provocative and playful spirit of the Maison Gaultier to the present day.
