Jean Paul Gaultier established himself in the 70s and 80s as the “enfant terrible" of French fashion with no formal fashion education to boast of. His irreverent style left nothing sacred, jumping over the standard guard rails of high-fashion — he played with gender roles, putting men in skirts decades before others did, and chose plus sized women and older men to grace his runways. His talent was undeniable, though his utilization of such gifts made him a fiercely divisive and notorious designer. While often hated by the French press, he gained the hearts of numerous subversive, forward-thinking icons like Madonna and Marilyn Manson, in which Gaultier he created tour wardrobes for.
