How might the use of atypical models have helped Gaultier’s success?
What will be an ideal response?
Gaultier has always been a controversial, non-conforming figure in the fashion industry and he has a playful, irreverent style. Thus it was natural that his models are also ‘atypical’ and are therefore able to give the media a ‘story’ and something to talk about. He frequently uses models who do not fit the standard fashion model image: older men, full-figured women, heavily tattooed or pierced models, and even transgender models have appeared on his catwalks. This has caused him both criticism and acclaim; the former from the fashion industry who see it as a gimmick, the latter from the public who see it as a breakthrough for ‘normal’ people. The more media coverage, the better the chances of success.
