Jean-Paul Gaultier is a French fashion designer born on April 1952 in Arcueil, France. His parents were both workers in a local factory and he was the youngest of six children. He began his career in fashion by working as an assistant to Pierre Cardin while he was still a teenager. After a few years, he launched his own label and his first collection was shown in 1976.

Gaultier’s designs are often considered to be controversial and provocative. He is known for using unconventional materials in his designs, such as metal mesh, plastic, and even recycled paper. He is also known for his use of gender-bending themes and designs.

Gaultier has been a successful fashion designer for over four decades. His designs have been worn by some of the world’s most famous celebrities, including Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Lady Gaga. He has also been a creative director for several fashion houses, including Hermès and Jean Patou.

As of 2021, Jean-Paul Gaultier’s net worth is estimated to be $200 million.
