And that’s not all, there’ll be special footage of catwalk shows, music videos and films plus Jean Paul Gaultier has dug into his personal collection to share over 140 couture and ready-to-wear pieces.

Speaking of his excitement the designer said: ‘The English were the first ones to come to my shows and appreciate my fashion. I am super-excited that the show is coming to London. If there is one place other than Paris that I should like to live in, it is London.’

We’re super-excited too, Jean Paul!
