House of Tyrant: Water into Gaultier?

Jean Paul Gualtier himself.

Picture this...Transsexuals, large plus sized models, heavily tattooed bodies...all down the same runway. Now do I have your attention? No. But Parisian rebel Jean Paul Gaultier does. JPG is one of the most provocative designers in fashion. At the same time, he is one of the only fashion houses that is running a lucrative business. Hermès, reported an increase at the end of last quarter. One of the only luxury brands to do so. While his shows strike controversy, his numbers strike gold.

JPG began his career in 1970 working as an assistant to Pierre Cardin. Apprenticing at Pierre, Jean Paul launched his own label six years later. Continuing to drop jaws up and down the front row of his shows, he landed a monumental position in his career...Designing the infamous cone bra the Madonna wore during her Blond Ambition tour.

Creating a hype about his lifestyle and loves, Hermès Paris collected him to take on their collections in 2003. Redes

igning iconic bags such as the Birkin into a clutch. That is not the only iconic good Jean Paul reformed. In 2009 JPG got his icy hands around Evian waters design. My first piece of Jean Paul Gaultier coincidentally is the Evian bottle(that I wont open). Next up I am dying to get my hands on his signature. Stripes! Le French Sailor Stripe is a staple among his elements of form. Until next time, Au Revoire! and ahoy there sailor!
