UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION DUBAI EXPO 2020, FRANCE PAVILION2022

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER FROM A TO Z. (FEBRUARY- APRIL 2022)



Invited to represent France at the Dubai World Expo, this exhibition on the work of Jean Paul Gaultier is the 17th in collaboration with Canadian curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot, following La Planète Mode de Jean Paul Gaultier and Love is Love. “My clothes are, in a way, the best passport to make my ideas travel,” said Jean Paul Gaultier. Beyond the clothes, beyond the likeable character of a peroxide blond with a contagious laugh, and well beyond the codes that he shakes up with humor and sensitivity, “the enfant terrible of French fashion” has proposed a fashion beyond fashion, beyond trends. Over the seasons, he has presented creations combining humanism, tolerance and universal values, which captured and asserted the issues of society, which have thus been relayed by the couturier, collection after collection, for nearly 50 years. Which proves that the history of fashion is not only written with trendy silhouettes and accessories, but also with a real concern for commitment.
