The tenth volume of the best-selling Catwalk series offers the first comprehensive overview of Jean Paul Gaultier's women’s collections, from his debut in the late 1970s to his last runway show in 2020. With 2.5 million copies in circulation, each luxurious, cloth-bound book in the Catwalk series features over 1,300 looks as originally presented on the runway, styled as the designer intended and worn by the world's top models.
These ten treasures of inspiration are essential references for all fashion enthusiasts and professionals. Often described as the ‘enfant terrible’ of French fashion, Jean Paul Gaultier revitalized, invigorated, and revolutionized the possibilities of haute couture from the 1980s onwards, blurring the boundaries between masculine and feminine, high and low culture, and celebrating models of all ages and ethnicities – even inviting iconic personalities such as Madonna and Björk to walk the runway.
This definitive publication begins with a concise history of the house, followed by a brief biography of Jean Paul Gaultier, before exploring the collections organized chronologically. Each collection is accompanied by a short text revealing its influences and references, and illustrated with carefully selected images from the runway shows that highlight hundreds of spectacular garments, details, accessories, beauty styles, and stage 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 comprehensive reference section, including an extensive index, completes the book. After chapters on Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Yves Saint Laurent, Prada, Vivienne Westwood, Versace, Chloé, and Givenchy, Jean Paul Gaultier is the tenth volume in a series of luxurious, cloth-bound books offering an unrivaled overview of the collections from the world's leading fashion houses through original photographs from the runway.
