Description

To enter the House of Jean-Paul Gaultier feels like walking into some kind of spectacle, and entering his personal Haute Couture studio in Paris is particularly exceptional. The Gaultier House is part of a very private club of design houses authorized to take advantage of the Haute Couture label. Located in the heart of Paris, some twenty male and female artisans bring some of the most iconic contemporary French designs to life. All of this happens under the watchful eye of Fanny Thinsselin and Amandine Gonet, the first and second seamstresses in the workshop. And then there is Céline, Céline Têtedoie, who is responsible for finding the workshop’s materials and supplies amidst hundreds of samples of satin, tulle, buttons, and boning. Céline is responsible for all of the designer and  the client requests, ensuring that no dream goes unrealized in the House of Jean-Paul Gaultier.
