The Italian -French Designer Pierre Cardin,distinguished Master of French Haute Couture and so  famous for its line and for being the first tailor of another great Designer, Christian Dior. immediately saw that the young Gaultier was special, for its originality and for its brilliant creativity. Gaultier had from that time an incredible escalation,he conquered before Paris and then the world.Not just Designer Gaultier is also TV Commentator, Musician,polyglot,speaking several languages a great expert on art and literature and interviewer of famous celebrities as Lady Gaga not long time ago.

The city of Madrid is a mix of conservative and modern art in its architecture and buildings,from  its Neoclassical monumental Gran Via,Calle de Alcalá and the Madrid of Austria,modern in its buildings of Paseo de la Castellana,Azca and Nuevos Ministerios and many other districts but at the same time also innovative and "a l´Avant Garde" especially on its performances to surprise with event like this Gaultier Exhibition.
