Description
Gaultier�s groundbreaking runway collections: a fashion revolution in one book.
The tenth volume in the bestselling Catwalk series offers the first ever comprehensive overview of Jean Paul Gaultier�s womenswear collections, from his debut in the late 1970s to his farewell show in 2020.
With 2.5 million copies in print, each high-end, cloth-bound volume in the bestselling Catwalk series features over 1,300 looks as they originally appeared on the catwalk, styled as the designer intended and sported by the world�s top models. These ten treasure troves of inspiration are must-have references for all fashion fans and professionals.
Often introduced as French fashion�s �enfant terrible�, Jean Paul Gaultier radically refreshed, re-energized and re-imagined the possibilities of high fashion from the 1980s onwards, blurring boundaries between masculine and feminine, high and low culture and celebrating models of all ages and ethnicities - even drawing icons such as Madonna and Bj�rk onto his runway.
This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biographical profile of Jean Paul Gaultier, before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically. Each collection is introduced by a short text unveiling its influences and highlights, and illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images that showcase hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks and set designs - and, of course, the top fashion models who wore them on the runway, from Linda Evangelista and Kate Moss to Gigi and Bella Hadid. A rich reference section, including an extensive index, concludes the book.
