With its catchphrase "Tout le monde est beau!" ("Everybody looks so good!"), it was a feel-good smash when he premiered it at the Folies Bergere in Paris in 2018. His "Fashion Freak Show", a cheeky cabaret revue based on his life has been a popular and critical hit. Given that Gaultier is taking his final bow at the Theatre du Chatelet, many believe the 67-year-old showman may throw himself into showbiz. "Nana was the first transgender teddy," he joked. He also revealed that the iconic design came from his teddy bear, Nana, for whom he designed conical breasts when he was a child when his parents refused to give him a doll. "Sadly she said no," the designer confessed earlier this year. Gaultier proposed marriage to the singer three times in the past. Rumours are rife that the "Queen of Pop" may appear in the farewell show, a one-hour extravaganza with 200 models. The hour-long show began with a massive musical number from Boy George before a coffin was carried on stage with two conical-shaped breasts on the lid. The provocateur, who changed pop history by putting Madonna in a conical bra, said he was hanging up his scissors after 50 years in the business.
The maverick creator stunned fans on Friday by announcing that the haute couture show in a theatre in the French capital would be his last. Goodbye to the spanking new, hello to the spanking old!" he said.
"So this is my first upcycling haute couture collection. Like a lot of humans, it becomes even more beautiful as it gets older. In my first show and this my last there are creations made with the jeans I've worn," he said.
"I have been doing that since my very first show. You can love a garment again by transforming it," Gaultier said. "When I was a child my mother told me how she would turn my father's old worn trousers into skirts. "Don't throw them away, recycle them," he declared before taking a trip down memory lane. There are too many clothes and too many that are never worn.
In a touching adieu to fashion, Gaultier said the business "has changed. Legendary French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier on Wednesday plugged recycling clothes as he kicked off a spectacular show to mark his retirement from fashion.
