“This show celebrating 50 years of my career will also be my last,” the iconic designer, 67, tweeted on Friday. “But rest assured Haute Couture will continue with a new concept.”

Long known as the “enfant terrible” of French fashion, the couturier has dressed celebrities ranging from Marion Cotillard — who wore his white and silver mermaid dress to accept her Oscar for “La Vie en Rose” in 2008 — to top musicians like Rihanna, Beyoncé and Lady Gaga.
He’s perhaps most famous for his work with Madonna; after creating her infamous cone bra back in the early 1990s, Gaultier went on to design multiple tour and performance looks for the Queen of Pop.
