Renowned French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier is launching a lingerie line with Italian brand 'La Perla'. Gaultier,who is famous for creating pop queen Madonna's conical bra for her 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour,has developed a provocative lingerie collection,reported Contactmusic. Lingerie is part of my DNA: I have always used it in my collections. With La Perla,I have found a perfect partner, he said. The designer,who also created Madonna's wardrobe for her 2006 Confessions Tour,added the collection will continue to enforce his strong view of female empowerment. I would like to give women freedom to be who they are. I personally think women are the stronger sex; that they are more intelligent and much stronger than us men,and I always wanted to show a strong woman who seduces because she wants to, he added. Gaultier recently opened a retrospective of his work at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts in Canada,where he admitted he made the first designs of his iconic bra for his stuffed toys. I made my first cone-shaped bra out of newsprint for my teddy bear Nana. I was always alone,doing my own story. It was my world,one in which I was very happy,dressing my teddy bear, said Gaultier. The designer's underwear collection will be sold at La Perla and Jean-Paul Gaultier boutiques across the world.
