Gaultier: His Fashion World

From conical corsets to Breton stripes, Jean Paul Gaultier’s irreverent and subversive style has won him legions of fashion fans for over 30 years. This is the first ever app to take a look at his colourful career and includes:

• exploration of key themes from the exhibition, with stunning photographs of Gaultier’s most iconic pieces, including Madonna’s conical bra and corset
• an introductory video from the man himself
• interviews with his muses and collaborators
• insights from exhibition curators on the impact of Gaultier on the world of fashion
• behind the scenes glimpses at the creation of some of these highly detailed pieces
• an in-app camera to take and share photos of all the incredible pieces from the exhibition

With his avant-garde fashion creations and cutting-edge designs, Gaultier has shaped the look of fashion over the last 35 years. His reputation for witty and daring designs and a ceaseless interest in society, identity and a beauty borne of difference has earned him a place in fashion history. Through twists, transformations, transgressions and reinterpretations, he not only erases the boundaries between cultures but also the sexes, redefining the idea of androgyny or subverting fashion codes.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk is at the Barbican Centre, London, from 9 April 2014 to 25 August 2014.
