Jean Paul Gaultier

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier made its ninth worldwide stop in Melbourne over the summer. After months of hearing nothing but amazing things, I finally managed to head to the exhibition for the final weekend... probably the one busiest yet! 
Surprisingly the NGV encouraged visitors to share images on social media. So no need to take sneaky photographs.
