Jean Paul Gaultier's Fashion Freak Show
Jean Paul Gaultier is set to shake up Australian audiences when his stunning creation, Fashion Freak Show — fifty years of pop culture through the eyes of fashion’s enfant terrible — takes up residence in Brisbane as a sensational centrepiece of this year’s Festival.
An explosive combination of both a musical revue and fashion show, the production depicts the sensational life of Jean Paul Gaultier against a backdrop of his generation’s most defining political and cultural changes. As author, director and costume designer, Jean Paul Gaultier takes a look at our times in both an extravagant and tender way and invites us behind the scenes into his world filled with excess, poetry and magic.
As part of this unmissable event, Jean Paul Gaultier has designed hundreds of new exclusive outfits that will feature alongside some of his most iconic creations on the Brisbane runway. Conceived like a grand party featuring an exuberant playlist- from Disco to Funk, from Pop to Rock and New Wave and Punk - Jean Paul Gaultier will surprise us yet again.
Fresh from sellout seasons in Europe and Japan, it's now Brisbane's turn to bear witness to this Australian exclusive season.
