Eccentric, scandalous, provocative, exuberant, and funny as ever, Jean Paul Gaultier is set to shake up London this summer when his stunning creation, Fashion Freak Show – 50 years of pop culture through the eyes of fashion’s enfant terrible – takes up residence for 52 shows in our iconic main space…
Welcome to the all-singing, all-dancing, costume-filled spectacle that tells the story of one of the most innovative designers alive today, Jean Paul Gaultier. Explosive fashion show and revue all wrapped into one, Fashion Freak Show is a feast for the senses. Gorge yourself on an extraordinary production of actors, dancers, circus artists as they take to the stage in an outlandish, passionate and larger than life fashion.
Flashing through defining moments of his career, we not only get to revel in the secret fashion fantasies dreamt up by this gifted couturer over the years, but also see the journey Jean Paul has taken in terms of family, friendship, love, rebellion and broken taboos. An explosive playlist of hits that have inspired the artist throughout his life never went amiss as well!
This is your opportunity to leave the outside world behind and step into a place where there is no single definition of beauty. It’s magic, it’s rude, it’s sexy, it’s sassy. It’s a celebration of provocation. Come and see the extravagance that is the Fashion Freak Show.
