Madonna in Jean Paul Gaultier corset by Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Harper’s Bazaar (1990)

Stéphane Sednaoui, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Cindy Sherman, Bettina Rheims, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and David LaChapelle participated in the making of the image of Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Some of these photos have become true symbols of a style and an era. Above, for Harper’s Bazaar, Madonna photographied by Jean-Baptiste Mondino during The Blond Ambition Tour in her Jean Paul Gaultier corset is a good example.

Here are some photos of their photos i took during my visit of the exhibition of Jean-Paul Gaultier in Montreal, an other way to make the visit.
