PROGRAM GUIDE November 13, 2011–February 12, 2012
Jean Paul Gaultier whose early work in the 1970s earned him
the nickname “enfant terrible” of fashion, is unquestionably one of the most
important fashion designers in recent decades. This is the first exhibition
devoted to Gaultier, who draws inspiration from dance, pop-rock, cinema,
television, photography, and world cultures. The exhibition highlights
Gaultier’s eclectic and vibrant sources of inspiration through a selection of
more than 130 haute couture dresses and ready-to-wear pieces made
between 1976 and 2011.
