Episode 30: Get Your Freak On – The Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Freak Show

Another excursion for the Dress: Fancy duo this week, and a true ‘end of season’ extravaganza, as Lucy and Ben review the career and cultural impact of fashion’s Enfant Terrible after watching his eponymous Fashion Freak Show at the South Bank Centre. This is the first in a series of episodes that explore the relationship between designers attuned to the language of costume, the provocative, playful & performative.
