''That was like inspired by mod, like I told you, and punk, you know, like the punk with bondage and things like that. So it was like influenced by all that, you know I try to make - you know my souvenir it was more like 80s, end of 70s, 80s like with the mods, the punk, all that mixed together to make it something of today, I suppose."

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Jean Paul Gaultier, designer:
"It's for children from like, let's say like three or four years old and until like fourteen, fifteen. So it's a real range, but, you know I was, a long time before doing it, I was saying I would never do it. Why? Because I was not having children myself, so I said no, and I didn't like at all those clothes for children. I find that it was not nice, too much like for children, you know, and I said if myself I would have one day to do it I should do it like on men or on a woman, exactly the same, like adult. So now that I'm getting older and let's say mature in some way, I thought it should be funny or nice to make some nice proportion, I have my own, let's say, style, I like to put it on a little child."

STORYLINE
GAULTIER LAUNCHES JUNIOR RANGE
Jean Paul Gaultier's Paris show on Thursday (22 Jan. 2009) was bursting with an energy, cheekiness and joy capable of sweeping away even the densest clouds of financial gloom and doom.
Men, women and children of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors skipped down the catwalk in extra-large Afro wigs and zippy zoot suits.
Straps that looked like suspenders confused about their mission in life sprouted out of trouser legs, cinching tight around the models' ankles. Others fastened snugly around the torso like parachuters' harnesses.
The children, who ranged in age from wide-eyed toddlers to skulking teens, were dressed just like the adults, some of them in snappy three-piece suits and tophats.
It was the first time Gaultier - who has mellowed since the 1990s, when he forged his reputation as the wild child of French fashion - presented a children's line, under the title Gaultier Junior.
Gaultier put the attraction of doing a children's line down to his age. "Now that I'm getting older and let's say mature in some way, I thought it should be funny or nice to make some nice proportion, I have my own, let's say, style, I like to put it on a little child."
