Punk Sentimental-JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

Jean Paul Gaultier is one of my favorite designers so I was thrilled to discover the new biography Jean Paul Gaultier Punk Sentimental by Elizabeth Gouslan.
Only available in french at the moment so I guess that I'll have to stick to my New Year's resolution and learn to read french better and of course find more vintage collectables by him.
The gorgeous pieces above used to be mine.
You'll find the book on
www.amazon.fr and more of my Jean Paul Gaultier pieces in the galleries at www.jeannesuica.com
