The initials of the French fashion designer Jean
Paul Gaultier. Gaultier is one of the few artists within the fashion industry. His designs are strongly shaped around surrealism, abstraction, and the the fashion of the 1930s/40s French style. Jean
Paul Gaultier consistently challenges fashion's typical "norms" and is always on the cutting edge of fashion--always moving
us to the future with his artistic vision. A true leader in fashion, Gaultier, unlike many, is much less
mainstream, and he chooses to advertise less, making him a more underground, exclusive label.
If you were to compare the "greatest" American labels--Calvin Klein, Ralph
Lauren, etc.--none of them consist of an
ounce of artistic vision, the exceptional
quality of JPG, nor a stand-out-from-the-crowd experience.
