Remember that provocative conical bra Madonna wore in her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour? Well soon you will be able to see it in the Brooklyn Museum. The man behind Madonna’s Conical bra, Jean Paul Gaultier has also given the Brooklyn Museum 140 other things to show in his exhibit “The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk,” which will arrive at the Eastern Parkway museum next October. The exhibit is going to feature things through out the 37 years of his career…For the whole story click below.
Gaultier’s high-profile exhibition is a good get for the Brooklyn cultural institution which will be the only museum in the Eastern United States to present it.
Madonna’s Blonde Ambition bra and corset contraptions are on everybody’s mind this week.
One of them is being auctioned off Thursday by Christie’s International in London — and is expected to go for as much as $24,000.
His gender-bending designs like skirts for men will be on display along with his very first design, which has never been exhibited.
More than 30 of the mannequins wearing his eye-popping garb are animated — including one with a face molded to look like Gaultier himself that welcomes visitors to the show in English and French.
There’s also a simulated catwalk that moves mannequins around, like in a real-life fashion show.
