The World of Jean Paul Gaultier

When I found out about the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Fine Arts Museum of San Fransisco I felt the adrenaline pumping through my veins. The urge to be there. His work is outstanding, sexy, charming, extremely unique and creative, provocative and stimulates my senses. I plan on making a trip to San Francisco before August 19th for multiple eyegasms.

This dynamic, multimedia exhibition will include 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter designs created between the mid-1970s and 2010, along with numerous sketches, archival documents, fashion photographs, and video clips that spotlight Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians, most notably Madonna. For this presentation, Gaultier partnered with the Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30 animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.
