The Montreal Museum of Fine arts celebrates, from June, 17th to October, 2 2011 the creative genius that is Jean Paul Gaultier. Featuring almost 140 ensembles mainly taken from his couture shows, it depicts his wild and rebellious spirit, his will to subverse the image of fashion, erasing the concepts of ugly and beautiful, man or woman, fat or skinny. Once Andy Warhol said: "I think the way people dress today is a form of artistic expression. Saint Laurent, for instance, has made great art. Art lies in the way the whole outfit is put together. Take Jean Paul Gaultier. What he does is really art"
.
The exhibition is considered by Gaultier as a "creation on his own rather than a retrospective". It features sketches, never before seen video footage, stage costumes and just anything to enter the world of fashion' s favourite "enfant terrible"
