Jean Paul Gaultier: On his life, Madonna, and fashion

Legendary designer Jean Paul Gaultier is combining fashion, theatre, and music for his new 'Fashion Freak Show' in London.

Known as one of the most provocative and influential designers in the 80s, Gaultier made the French sailor's top an iconic fashion staple.

He looks back on his career, talking about how his designs featured in Madonna's Blonde Ambition Tour and some of the issues swirling around modern day fashion including body shaming and the turn towards 'prudishness'.

Presenter Kirsty Wark sat down with the designer.
