Jean Paul Gaultier is a French born fashion designer, having designed a range of clothing, sunglasses and accessories that are frequently seen along the catwalks. He was born on April 24th, 1952, in the
Val de Marne region of France. His fashions have been worn by many celebrities, and he has designed the wardrobes for a range of famous feature films, including Luc Besson's The Fifth Element.
Jean Paul Gaultier is known as the 'Enfant Terrible' within the world of fashion. His fashion designs and exhibitions have always been a little out of the ordinary, having chosen unconventional models to use in many of his exhibitions. These include fuller figured girls as opposed to stick thin models that are usually parading up and down the catwalk; older men; and models who are heavily tattooed. This rather diverse and brave move meant that Jean Paul Gaultier received both enormous popularity as well as heavy criticism.
Jean Paul Gaultier is perhaps better known around the globe for his range of perfumes and colognes, which have been massively successful in many countries. His first men's fragrance, La Mele, is the number one male fragrance in the entire of the European Union, based on the amount of sales it made.
There are several fashion lines that Jean Paul Gaultier works with, and these include lines of accessories and sunglasses also. The sunglasses designs are a new endeavour for the house of Jean Paul Gaultier, but just as with any of his other lines, their designs reflect pure fashion and high quality. This new collection of eyewear and sunglasses that Jean Peaul Gaultier has introduced will complete his range of accessories that are on offer. The sunglasses are available in many different styles, all heavily fashionable and reflective of the current trends.
