EXHIBITIONS
JEAN PAUL GAULTIER. BE MY GUEST.LONDRES, LONDON UNIVERSITY EXHIBITION CENTER. COLLEGE OF FASHION (APRIL – SEPTEMBER 2014)
This graphic design work traced a trajectory through the evolution of his work and included campaigns for seminal collections, including ‘A Wardrobe for Two’ prêt-à-porter collection of spring/summer 1985, in which Gaultier introduced his concepts for androgynous clothing, through to his ‘Tribute to Frida Kahlo’ collection of spring/summer 1998, which highlighted the cultural influences in his work. The exhibition reflected how Gaultier has shaped his image and translated his visionary catwalk collections into iconic invitations and advertising campaigns.
This exhibition was a collaboration between London College of Fashion, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and Maison Jean Paul Gaultier, Paris, in co-operation with the Barbican Art Gallery.
