For anyone in the UK, there is a JPG exhibition at the Barbican Apr 9 - Aug 25 called 'The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier, From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk'.
 
Saw this exhibition in Montreal where it first started. Went back five times. The presentation was amazing. Highly recommend it to anyone interested in fashion. Fascinating to see how JPG develops themes in his designs over many years.

Was so sad to see the end of his relationship with Hermes. JP certainly grew a lot during the partnership.

Hermes aquired a substantial percentage of Gaultier's business, never heard what happened to that side of the relationship. Anyone know?

Went today, what a fantastic exhibition - loved the mannequins with the talking faces. I thought it was really interesting and the workmanship was amazing. Loved that you could get so close to all the couture exhibits. A must-see imo. There's an app too - search for barbican JPG.
