my LOVE for Jean-Paul Gaultier!!

The french born Couture designer first landed himself into the forefront of fashion in the 1990's when he designed numerous outfits for Madonna, including the infamous CONE Bra which today is still one of the most iconic pieces of fashion in the 20th century.

He isn't afraid to push the bounderies to what is considerd the 'norm' and uses a womens silhoutte as inspiration for most of his design work...
Below are some of my favourite pieces of work from him..

Madonna in the 100's on her 'Blonde ambition' tour. The infamous cone bra top.

beautiful couture dresses

using plus size models in a raunchy way, he isn't afraid to cause controversy.

Bridal wear, not exactly the norm!

full skirts and nipped in waists!

sheer and black to create a raunchy chic!

i love his illustration style.

Is he the only designer being realistic with women's figures? or is is embracing unhealthy overweight women?
