Jean Paul Gaultier Catwalk: The Complete Collections 10

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 cloth-bound volume in the official and authorized Catwalk series is produced in close collaboration with the world's top fashion houses. These 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 Björk 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. After 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 high-end, cloth-bound books that offer an unrivalled overview of the collections of the world’s top fashion houses through original catwalk photography.
