Reference News Network reported on January 20 that French media said that legendary designer Jean-Paul Gautier retired from the fashion industry.
According to Agence France-Presse reported on January 17, French designer Jean-Paul Gautier announced on January 17 local time that his next Paris haute couture show will be his last. This shocked the fashion industry, according to the report.
The creator of the design style is outrageous, saying that after his latest work takes the T-stage, he will hold a "big party" on the 22nd to commemorate his 50 years in the industry.

Gautier's brand company says his high-end fashion and perfume business will continue, but Gauthier, 67, will give up designing his own clothing.
The designer said: "Sure to rest, high-end womenswear will have a new concept. Gautier made history in the fashion world, he designed the tapered corset for the Madonna, invented the "men's skirt", and brought diversity to the t-shaped table.
The "old boy" dropped his "bombshell" in a typical funny video. Judging from the video he shot, it appears that he was being interviewed exclusively by a reporter.
Gautier reclined in a recliner and whispered, "Now I'm going to give you a scoop." This will be my last fashion show. You have to come, you can't miss it... But, but, but, I assure you, the Gautier Paris fashion show will continue, the fashion show will continue. ”
"I have a new concept. I'll tell you later, all the little secrets. to be continued! Kiss you! ”
In 2015, Gautier stopped designing ready-to-wear in favor of high fashion — the luxury handmade clothing that only the world's wealthiest women can afford.
But until 2019, the maverick insisted he had no intention of stopping the design — though he was desperate for animal activists to force him to stop using furs. "I really like the feel of fur." He said, while acknowledging that he was hesitant to remove fur from his fashion show.
Although his clothing business under the Spanish fashion group PUIG has never been a very lucrative business, his perfumes — often featuring handsome sailors——- have been selling well.
Gautier has been a fashion wizard since childhood. He said he started by sewing a corset for his teddy bear.
He was reportedly the personal assistant of The French fashion magnate Pierre Cardin at the age of 18 and rose to fame in the 1980s alongside designers such as Thierry Müller, when the Parisian fashion scene was in its worst of decline.
Gautier has always challenged gender stereotypes and traditional notions of beauty, and has advertised "atypical" models.
