Documentary DVD released, tracing the careers of Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier

Aug 6, 2015

Two documentary DVDs featuring Alexander McQueen and Jean Paul Gaultier will be released on September 16th. Alexander McQueen was a pioneer in the fashion world who captivated many with his innovative ideas. The DVD, "The Legacy of Alexander McQueen" (3,800 yen), features footage from his early works to his 2010-2011 Autumn/Winter collection, which was held in Paris in a limited run shortly after his death, along with interviews with McQueen himself. The DVD also includes rare footage of the legendary 1999-2000 Spring/Summer show, in which robots sprayed models' costumes, a holographic 3D image of Kate Moss from 2006-2007 Autumn/Winter, and the 2009-2010 Autumn/Winter collection, which featured a striking, innovative checkered pattern.

Meanwhile, the Jean Paul Gaultier documentary DVD "JEAN-PAUL GAULTIER AT WORK" (3,800 yen) is a must-see for industry professionals, as Jean Paul Gaultier himself explains his design techniques while looking back on footage of carefully selected shows from the 1980s to the present.

Jean Paul Gaultier values making his clothes with his own hands more than fashion shows or television appearances. The process of his clothing creation, from ideation to production, is depicted through demonstrations and re-enactments, including scenes of him designing while actually trying on models' bodies.
