Having achieved pretty much everything there was to achieve in the fashion world, Jean-Paul Gaultier is opening himself up to new horizons since retiring from the business last year.

The former "enfant terrible" of French fashion has curated an exhibition in Paris on the power of women, taking in screen icons from Marilyn Monroe to this year's shocking Palme D'Or winner Titane.
