Best known for his eponymous design house and his seven-year tenure as head designer at Hermes, Jean Paul Gaultier is the resident L'enfant Terrible of fashion for his penchant for challenging the then-standard views of fashion, reworking them and infusing ideas of his own.
The British Vogue reported that Gaultier's work has been characterised by a "stylistic consistency since his very first collection". Looking through past runway show images as well as the countless YouTube videos from the various fashion weeks, one can tell that, in many of his collections, Gaultier loves subverting the norm.
