After 50 years on the catwalk, Jean Paul Gaultier presented his final haute couture collection in Paris last night, celebrating his label with a huge party on the runway, which saw A-list models including Bella and Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and Irina Shayk in attendance.

The collection was as fun and eccentric as ever with his trademark nautical-inspired looks, plenty of sheer tulle and bodices galore. It also featured 700,000 Swarovski crystals bedazzling the looks.

Although Jean Paul Gaultier couture will continue in some capacity (under a new concept, which is yet to be announced), this marks the designer's official retirement from the world of fashion.
