HT: Jean Paul Gaultier 25th April 2014




Hardtalk show

Summary: HARDtalk speaks to the French fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier who was known as the enfant terrible of the fashion world for his witty and daring designs. Now in his sixties is he still as iconoclastic as ever? And as an exhibition of his best known works continues at the Barbican Arts Centre in London, how does he answer criticisms that some of his designs, like corset dresses and cone bras, contribute to the sexual objectification of women?
