Look familiar? If you remember the cult classic "[A Clockwork Orange](http://www.filmsite.org/cloc.html)" these fashions from Jean Paul Gaultier will strike a chorde. This is Gaultier's salute to French musician and song writer, [FrÃ©dÃ©ric "Fred" Chichin](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balenciaga-by-demna) that can produce a collection worthy of note.
