Jean Paul Gaultier sparks outrage at Paris Couture Week

Jean Paul Gaultier causes outrage as his latest collection showcased at Paris Couture Week was inspired by former drug addict, Pete Doherty. 60-year-old Gaultier became fascinated as was said to be 'bowled over' by the British musician, Doherty after meeting him in Cannes. The show that had androgynous model, Andrej Pejic as the main star of the show included 19th century top hats, high taffeta collars and  lots and lots of black. 






Jean Paul Gaultier is not new to a little bit of controversy surrounding his show as his last couture show was inspired by the late, Amy Winehouse not so long after her death. One thing for sure is that Gaultier knows how to spark a bit of controversy and get people talking about his latest work!

  2. I totally agree I loved his Amy Winehouse collection aswell. I think if anything it celebrated her style and her life, I think some people just thought it was a little bit too soon after her death. I know I am totally fascinated by Andrej it's so hard to believe sometimes that it's a boy. Stunning x
