before basing a photoshoot around the almighty jean paul gaultier i done some background research into the designer and thought i would share some of the facts i found. short n sweet.
HIS LABEL STARTED IN 1978
INFLUENCED BY GLOBAL COSTUME, BOTH OLD AND NEW, SUCH AS THAT WORN BY LONDON'S PUNKS.
SEXUAL AMBIGUITY HAS ALSO BEEN AN ENDURING THEME.
GAULTIER'S WHOLE STYLE IS A HUMOROUS, ECLECTIC CHALLENGE TO THE FRENCH ESTABLISHMENT.
INSTANTLY RECOGNIZABLE FOR HIS SAILOR COMBINATION DUE TO THE SUCCESSFUL 'LE MALE' FRAGRANCE.
ALSO WELL KNOWN FOR HIS DESIGN OF THE CONE SHAPE BRA FOR MADONNA IN THE EIGHTIES, WHICH HAS NOW BECOME A SYMBOLISATION FOR THE DECADE.
from these few points, this has made me acknowledge certain areas i should concentrate on, such as gaultiers mix of old and new aswell as always acknowledging his roots. also mockery and humour are always involved in his shoots, i shall most probably incorporate both fashion forward and mock influence pictures in my shoot.
