Clin d'oeil has released a special edition dedicated to famed fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, a first for a Quebec-based fashion magazine.

Clin d’œil has partnered with The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts starting June 17, 2011. Clin d'oeil is "the only Quebec magazine to have interviewed Gaultier in Paris within the context of this exhibit" according to a release from the magazine.


The SIP contains more than 70 pages of exclusive content, including an exclusive interview with Gaultier in his Parisian studio as well as "never-before-seen" photos of the designer. Clin d’œil also reunited the fashion designer with international supermodel Ève Salvail who modeled pieces from Gaultier’s haute couture and ready-to-wear collections, resulting in more than 15 photos.

The magazine's website also contains a special section with exclusive videos, including an interview with Gaultier and a shopping spree with Ève Salvail in Paris, as well as a photo album documenting the making of' the special issue, which hit newsstands last week.

Gaultier and his work are also featured in the summer edition of Vancouver-based magazine Nuvo.
