Gaultier's own household was already big enough to be living by itself and taking all of Gaultier's time and talent... I do believe you're wrong when saying Gaultiers is the last great French fashion legend to be alive. Christian Lacroix is definitely one of the other "ultrafamous" French fashion icons. But Jean-Louis Scherrer or Dominique Sirop are just a few other great fashion legends (both have a true Haute Couture line too). I believe that Sonia Rykiel is also a true fashion legend of France although she's of course into the Ready To Wear clothing (but she did do spectacular revolutions in the knitting department of Fashion). As for me, I remain silent and speechless. He has been ill and looking very fragile for many years now. But it still hurts to know he is gone. All my colleagues were wearing YSL today. And no lady in my department dared to wear sunglasses of another designer... Puissiez-vous reposer en paix, Monsieur. It has been a beautiful adventure to have this man create clothing and revolutionize the Fashion industry in this very country. Merci Yves. mamalicious : it was out of the question Gaultier would take over YSL when Yves retired.

It would be a bit disconcerting to see this icon in such ill health, shaking and clearly moving with difficulty. Some shows he wouldn't appear at all. J-P Gaultier is the last GREAT French fashion legend left. They should have given him YSL when Yves retired in 2002.

It makes me feel sad - while most of my clothes come from other designers (Sears, Penney's), Opium is my scent. I would love to read his biography.

I've seen a couple of documentaries on him and (like Chanel, another maverick) they were fascinating and just make me want to know so much more about him. Sad news but what a life and legacy.

May he rest in peace. He'd seemed frail for quite a while, but I'm surprised to learn that he was only 71. This seems comparatively young to me as my father is that age. I shall be wearing my YSL makeup and perfume in memoriam (and it's a good excuse to splurge on the cuff i've seen recently and seriously coveted - I'm paying my last respects! :wink: ) I’m saddened to hear about this.
