Gaultier designs Kylie Minogue's costumes


World renowned French designer Jean Paul Gaultier has designed costumes for singer Kylie Minogue who kicked off her European Tour “KylieX2008” in Paris on May 6. Kylie Minogue wanted Jean Paul Gaultier, who was behind Madonna’s show-stopping outfits (remember her Iconic Bra) for her infamous ‘Blonde Ambition Tour’ in 1990, to create a collection of outfits that reflect a more mature stage in her life as she’s turning 40 in May.

Kylie Minogue added extra seven dates to the UK leg of her tour when the initial eight concerts sold out i! n just 30 minutes last December. ‘KylieX2008’ also includes dates in Belgium, Germany, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland and Northern Ireland. Kylie’s designer friend William Barker said, “The outfits are incredibly sophisticated - we are moving on to the next level, which is what she did with her new album X”.

William said to Britain’s Daily Mirror newspaper, “Jean Paul creates iconic pop fashion. What he did for Madonna’s tour was like religious experience. It’s difficult for pop to remain young, so what’s the point? Kylie’s career is a constant evolution.”
