The For You, For Me Tour is as much a career retrospective as it is a concert “greatest hits,” showcasing the best elements of the Fever Tour, the Showgirl Tour, and a large portion of the KylieX2008 Tour. With every coo, twirl, and flirty hair-flip, she embodied what it is to truly be “lady-like.” For a very brief moment, even I was turned on. With each bend (and snap), Minogue oozed sexuality winking to the crowd, and pouting and pursing her lips. “Red Blooded Woman,” performed on top of a pommel horse a la the Showgirl Tour, displayed her coquettish charm in full. More than Grace, or Madonna, or any other larger-than-life or flavor-of-the-month pop diva on the scene, Kylie Minogue possesses the greatest feminine sensibility of all. Different, elegant…just what one would expect from the Showgirl school of etiquette. It was a far cry from the veracious introduction of Grace Jones seen in this same space only months prior. Even at that height, she looked as stunning as ever the wild shrieks of the ballroom only confirming this further. From below, she appeared to be miles away. “Listen, can you hear the distance calling?” she crooned to the crowd, now thrown into a full-on frenzy of flashing cameras and hands held high in praise. Then, the great reveal: Floating down on a giant, metallic skull borrowed from the KylieX2008 Tour, the superstar was decked out in a glitter-and-glitz (and admittedly, Gaga-esque) metallic leotard and a giant white fur wrap, complete with a solar system cap encircled by small, glittery planets orbiting around the head of Miss Kylie Minogue. Soaked in a sea of blue light, the crowd immediately began to chant, “10! 9! 8!…” as the familiar countdown of “Light Years” began booming overhead. the night before.Īt only about fifteen minutes past than the show’s projected start time, the lights dimmed and the ballroom went pitch black until the dull glow of three or four blue bulbs hung overhead. We stood about six rows from the front, which in retrospect was prime real estate for the show, considering that the very front row was inhabited by the person who queued up at 2 a.m. Once inside, we were crammed together almost immediately against the stage, packed together like sardines (hey hey, writer’s cliche!). For a career spanning over twenty-two years, complete with ten studio albums and fifty-three singles under her belt, that’s a long time to keep a fan waiting. Tonight marked the first of three New York shows for the For You, For Me Tour, a two week North American tour created as a way for Minogue to thank her longtime American and Canadian fans. Queens, fairies, and muscle Mary’s of every shape and size (okay, perhaps even a few ladies–hey, Camille!) lined the streets of 34th and 8th Avenue on Sunday night to await the one and only Kylie Minogue. At 66, he created a musical review at the Folies Bergères inspired by his life, the Jean-Paul Gaultier Fashion Freak Show.“Do you see the sign for the New Yorker Hotel and the long line of gay men?” In the 2010s, Beth Ditto, Conchita Wurst, Nabilla modeled his collections. At 60, he was the first fashion designer to be a member of the Cannes Festival jury.
At 55, he designed the dress worn by Marion Cottillard when she accepted her Oscar.

At 45, he created the costumes for Luc Besson’s movie The Fifth Element. That same year, Madonna called upon him to design the costumes for her famous Blond Ambition Tour. In 1990, Francis Menuge, his partner of 15 years, died of AIDS. In 1977, he organized his fashion house’s first fashion show which he considered to be a “total failure.” At 31, he launched his first menswear collection. On his 18th birthday, without a high school diploma, and with no experience, he was hired as an assistant by Pierre Cardin. As a teenager, he was inspired by the work of Yves Saint Laurent. At 9, he discovered the Folies Bergères’ cabaret dancers on TV. His first model was Nana, his teddy bear. It was alongside his grandmother that he developed a real passion for sewing. His mother was a cashier and his father an accountant. He was born in 1952 in the suburbs of Paris. Nicole Kidman, Cate Blanchett, Fergie, Sonam Kapoor, Coco Rocha, Dita von Teese and Camilla Belle have also worn his designs throughout the years. He designed the costumes for Kylie Minogue's international KylieX2008 tour, as well as Hong Kong singer Leslie Cheung, who hired Gaultier to design eight costumes for his last concert tour in 2000. He's dressed men in kilts, he has sponsored Sidaction, he's dressed Madonna, he's French fashion icon Jean-Paul Gaultier. A fashion icon never formerly trained in design
