One of the most famous fashion designers in France, Jean-Paul Gaultier, gained great popularity at the end of the last century. He created his own unique style in fashion, while not having a special education for this in the field of design. Thanks to his talent alone, the young fashion designer quickly achieved great heights.
How did it all start?
Jean-Paul Gaultier began his career as a designer at a very young age, offering his sketches of clothing to French designers known at that time. And as soon as he was 18 years old, he began to work with Pierre Cardin. The first collection of Jean-Paul Gaultier appeared in the mid-70s. It was the cheapest collection, because there was no means to create it. It was made of ordinary paper napkins, and all accessories were made of various materials at hand. But just ten years after that, Jean-Paul created his own style, which became his hallmark and glorified the name of his creator throughout the world. Gauthier is not afraid to experiment, to mix different styles in one product, which makes his collections unusual and attractive.
New extravagant styles
Jean knew how to attract attention. He could arrange his shows anywhere, which aroused his interest. Museums, rings and even prisons - everything was open to his models. With his eccentric behavior and vibrant style, he was able to change the public's opinion about the style and pave the way for a new beautiful world of fashion.
Jean-Paul Gaultier shocked the surrounding society both with the form of his clothes (he could put on a vest with a Scottish skirt), and with his collections: he could dress men in female attire, while women showed an eccentric piercing.
Many world cinema and pop stars, having loved the extraordinary models of Gauthier, ordered him outfits for a tour, and well-known directors - for their films, which subsequently had high ratings (City of Lost Children, The Fifth Element, etc.). Among them was the most famous black in the form of a cone Madonna bra. Other famous personalities who very often turned to Jean-Paul were Marilyn Manson and Mylene Farmer.
Perfume by Jean-Paul Gaultier
Jean-Paul Gaultier first showed perfume to the world in 1993. At that time, already being an experienced fashion designer, he decided to switch to something else. This "other" was the perfume. The debut was women's perfume La Classique. From the first days, they immediately gained popularity with the beautiful half of humanity. Perfumes "Jean-Paul Gaultier Classic" have a light floral aroma with unobtrusive notes of the East, perfectly emphasizing the tenderness and depth of the female soul. Jean-Paul inspired his similar aroma with his grandmother, to whom he was reverent and considered her the ideal of femininity.
The first “Jean-Paul Gaultier” perfumes for men were released in 1995, they were poured into the original bottle in the form of a male torso. Le Male perfume with a refreshing delicate aroma can be classified as unisex.
The brightest and most unpredictable was the perfume "Jean-Paul Gaultier" with a bottle in the form of a Christmas souvenir - a ball with sparkles in the form of snow, they were called Ffagile.
What is so unusual?
Perfumes "Jean-Paul Gaultier" - this is an original and bewitching combination of aromas, giving a sense of freedom, lightness, desire for individuality and perfection. Any fragrance from Gauthier will give you sophistication, an explosion of emotions and a sense of eternal youth. All the perfumes of the collection are unique, and they can be recognized by a bold and unusual bouquet of smells.
Women's perfumes have rich floral aromas mixed with fruity. They contain jasmine, rose, a little orange and ylang-ylang for harmony. And in men's perfumes wood and citrus shades prevail, combined with the soothing smell of lavender. A hint of fern, skin, cardamom and mint can also be added. Gauthier's men's odors are classified as unisex or, as they are also called, aromatic.
Perfume "Jean-Paul Gaultier" is a high-quality perfume with unusually bright, stylish and original fragrance compositions.
New men's fragrance
Immediately after the fall-winter 2011-2012 clothing show, the famous designer Jean-Paul Gaultier introduced the public his new men's fragrance Kokorico, which means “Cucareca” in Russian. The name of the perfume is very symbolic, because the cock is a symbol of Jean’s native country. A rooster in France is a symbol of masculinity, courage, honor and charm.
The fragrance Kokorico has a soft woody shade of cedar and a vetiver herb with a hint of the smell of cocoa, which is considered a pretty strong aphrodisiac, fig and patchouli.
Like all other designer models of Gauthier, the bottle of this perfume is original and looks different from different angles. If you look from one side, this is the male face in profile, and if you turn the bottle and look from the other side, you can see the male torso. And the color of the bottle in the classic style is shiny black glass with a bright red inscription.
From France to Russia
In France itself, Kokorico appeared in early September and quickly spread throughout the world, and the CIS countries were no exception. In Russia, products from such a designer as Jean-Paul Gaultier are also very popular. Perfumes, the price of which is approximately 5-6 thousand rubles, are in demand among many girls.
Each of Gauthier's perfumes is interesting in its own way, each of the aromas is unique, and the design of the bottle speaks of the creative potential of its creator. But in recent years, the basis of all the spirits of Jean-Paul Gaultier is his very first fragrances - Classique and Le Male.
