Renowned fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier has sent shockwaves through the fashion world with the announcement that his upcoming couture show will mark his grand finale after an illustrious 50-year career. On January 17, 2020, Gaultier took to his social media channels to break the news to his devoted fans.
In the emotional video, Gaultier disclosed that his eponymous brand will undergo a transformation, signaling the end of an era for the iconic fashion house. Since discontinuing ready-to-wear collections in 2014, Gaultier has focused exclusively on couture shows, becoming a mainstay on the official Paris calendar since 1997.
Gaultier reassured his followers that the legacy of Gaultier Paris and Haute Couture will persevere under his new vision, promising forthcoming details in due course. The brand has confirmed that the visionary designer is currently immersed in an innovative project. Meanwhile, an extravagant farewell party is on the agenda at Paris’ Théâtre du Châtelet to bid adieu to Gaultier’s final show on January 22.
Famed for his avant-garde creations and bold aesthetic, Gaultier has always been a trailblazer in the realm of high fashion. Even as he steps away from the traditional fashion calendar, Gaultier’s unmistakable persona will remain an integral part of his brand. Serving as the creative force behind the label, he captivated audiences with his hit production, Fashion Freak Show, at the legendary Folies Bergères in Paris, drawing in a staggering 250,000 attendees.
Gaultier’s profound influence on the fashion landscape is undeniable, and his swan song show is poised to be a historic event that will resonate for generations to come.
