Jean Paul Gaultier, who has dressed celebs such at Katy Perry, Rihanna, and Beyonce, is perhaps most famous for the costumes he designed for Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour, including the iconic cone bra.  Launching his own line in 1976, the designer is known for his unconventional expressions of sexuality in his designs, sculpting fashions to accentuate every curve on the female form. Always pushing the envelope with his avant-garde creations, Gaultier is perhaps one of the most controversial haute couture designers.
