Quelle Surprise! Ooh La La.....Mon Dieu!

Jean Paul Gaultier's cone bra corset, designed for and worn by Madonna

 In the not too distant past, French designer Jean Paul Gaultier sat down with Celia Walden of the Telegraph UK fashion section.  For those who don't know, Gaultier designed the famous conical corsets and bras for Madonna's 1990 Blond Ambition concert tour, along with the rest of the costumes.  The corsets he designed that year for Madonna's world tour now rank alongside Marilyn Monroe's white halter-neck dress and Audrey Hepburn's black Givenchy LBD in fashion iconography.

The interview touches on several different areas of his life.  One of those areas is his opinion of Lady Gaga.  So what does le couturier extraordinaire have to say about Stefani?  Listen up monsters. Gaultier's exact words:

"I think she's talented and very inpolitically incorrect, which I love. But I also think that she read up on Madonna's life and learnt it like the Bible."

Thank you fine sir.
