Born in 1952 in France, Jean Paul Gaultier has managed to make a name
for himself in fashion without any formal training. Sending sketches to
various couture stylists Gaultier managed to get in the door at Pierre
Cardin as an assistant in 1970. Setting up his own label in 1976,
Gaultier’s edgier side came to light taking his inspiration more from
the London street scene than Parisian couture.
Technically brilliant, Gaultier used his talent to parody the fashion
establishment thereby redefining many fashion conventions. In the 1980s
he recreated underwear as outerwear with the corset look and attempted
to make skirts mainstream for men. His creations for those in the
entertainment business were well received making him shine even
brighter in popular culture. Interestingly enough his couture
collections remained very formal though they were not without touches
of his street influence.
Gaultier’s first women’s perfume, Classique, was introduced in 1993. It
was meant to be reminiscent of his childhood yet a representation of
his current life - fairylike and distant but still modern couture. The
peach coloured perfume was housed in a Gaultier corset while the bottle
was packaged in a silver tin- like something found on the street of any
urban centre. His first men’s cologne and one of the best sellers at
Perfume.com, Le Mâle, followed in 1995 and was housed in a manner only
Gaultier could imagine. Other popular perfumes include Fragile, Jean
Paul Gaultier Classique X and his yearly Summer Fragrance offers. Men’s
colognes include Fleur du Male and Le Male Terrible among others.
