The show comes with a veritable armada of legendary hits - from disco to funk, from pop to rock, from new wave to punk - the explosive, energetic soundtrack represents the sound of the artists who inspired the designer throughout his life.

The "Fashion Freak Show" celebrated its premiere in the French capital Paris at the renowned Folies Bergère in 2019. Jean Paul Gaultier on the show: "I hope that the audience will enjoy the show as much as I enjoyed creating it."
