Look familiar? If you remember the cult classic "A Clockwork Orange" these fashions from Jean Paul Gaultier will strike a chorde. This is Gaultier's salute to French musician and song writer, Frédéric "Fred" Chichin who was said to be in the class of Yves Montand, a French nightclub singer and movie actor.

Gaultier, at 55, is still considered a fresh designer that can produce a collection worthy of note.
