Jean Paul Gaultier was born in a suburb of France in the 1950`s.
In 1970 he got a job working for Pierre Cardin and released his first own fashion line in 1976.
If you would like all the dates and names from his carrier feel free to look him up on Wikipedia. But beside for all of these amazing photos of his work, what I would like to share with you are the touching and inspiring highlights of his carrier.
Jean really touched on such a wide range of artistic expression that one must be amazed by his accomplishments.
Besides for the world of fashion design where he started, Jean Paul also produced works of film and musical art.
He gained much of his popularity by challenging social norms in the way of gender in the fashion world.
He also got his far share of criticism for the things that he did. I feel like today he would not of had as hard of a time with his ideas of changing the face of masculinity.
But in 1985 when he introduced skirts for men into the fashion world it did not go over as well.
The big lesson that we can all learn from his story is that some times we cant be afraid of criticism because that new idea that we want to bring into the word may just be our purpose at that exact point in time.
