The designer’s revolutionary career has produced some of the finest haute couture and ready-to-wear pieces in the fashion world, resulting in a level of a euphoria at the finale show in January 2020 which ‘rivalled that of a World Cup match’, according to Loït Prigent.

The book dives into Gaultier’s inspiration and innovation, from the punk-inspired 1976 collection to the explosive finale show which reinvented some of most iconic pieces from his career. Complete with original catwalk photography, this book is a must-have for fashion lovers.
