Jean Paul Gaultier is heading down under.
The fashion world's 'enfant terrible' will attend the opening of an exhibition dedicated to his work.
Over 140 garments will be on show at the National Gallery of Victoria in October.
It will feature dresses worn by Cate Blanchett, Nicole Kidman and Kylie Minogue as well as the famous conical bras and corsets made for Madonna.
Gaultier confirmed he will attend the spectacular showcase.
“I am honoured and flattered that my exhibition will travel to Australia and I am thrilled to be returning to a country that I have visited only once, many years ago.
Preparing this exhibition I have realised how strong my ties to Australia are – Nicole Kidman was my first couture client.
"I have dressed Cate Blanchett on numerous occasions; Kylie is a dear friend and I have had the pleasure of working closely with her on her tours.
"I have also been working for many years with models Gemma Ward, Catherine McNeil, Jarrod Scott, and the list goes on.
"The people are what make this country great and you Australians certainly excel!”
The exhibition will feature exclusive material not exhibited in previous venues of the tour.
This will include pieces from his recent haute couture and ready-to-wear collections.
It will also include stage costumes worn by Australian actresses Nicole Kidman at the Oscars and Cate Blanchett at the Golden Globes.
More than a million visitors have already flocked to see the exhibition on its worldwide tour that includes Montreal, New York and London.
