Jean Paul Gaultier—the French designer who has truly mastered the art of bold, abstract and stunning full print garments. When they are used in sexual bondage plays they are commonly referred to as bondage belts, and also worn in fetish clothing. The belts can be used as medical restraints in institutions for bed and wheelchair restraints, and for safety in activities such as abseiling or construction work.

Gaultier began to work with Madonna during the late 1980s, and, at the pop star’s request, he designed the costumes for her 1990 “Blond Ambition” tour. In 1984, Gaultier’s “Boy Toy” collection challenged men’s fashion with striped shirts and skirts — and sold around 3,000 of them.
