Haute Couture Fashion Week: Jean Paul Gaultier's Final Couture Show In Pictures
The fashion designer presented his spring/summer 2020 show in Paris, the last before his retirement
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.
