Break out the hairspray and the crimper! Because Jean Paul Gaultier is taking everyone back to the 80s!

On Saturday the French designer presented his S/S 2013 offerings, and like Philip Treacy, he had pop icons on the brain.

JPG said in his show notes:

"This is an homage to all the pop stars of the Eighties who have influenced fashion and my fashion with their look. Any similarity with real events or characters is purely noncoincidental."

And how could it not be when the Parisian runway was lined with Michael Jackson, Madonna, Boy George, Annie Lennox, Jane Birkin and Grace Jones look-a-likes.

JPG even threw in a David Bowie twin for good measure.

Loves it!

As for the clothes, they weren't so bad either. That is if you don't mind reliving all the 80s trends.

This shouldn't come as surprise but Lady GaGa has always had an obsession with make-up.

The new face of MAC's Viva Glam cosmetics reveals in a new interview that her love of beauty products began when she was still a school girl:

"When I was young, I felt like a freak in school - and I had to put my make up on when I got home before I went to bed because I wasn't allowed to wear make-up in school. When I walked around the corner and saw Boy George in the window of a MAC store, I said, 'I feel just like that!' Why is that attitude nowhere else? And RuPaul, and Pamela Anderson. I said, 'Gosh, I feel just like that. That's why I think MAC is so important; they cater to that inside of you that feels like a freak sometimes, that wants to raise your freak flag."

Now that Gagaloo is behind the campaign, we're sure make-up loving little monsters will be flocking to MAC stores to unleash their inner freak.

You may not have thought about his career for a while, but Boy George is not fading into obscurity.

Getting back in touch with his creative side, he's recently found newfound happiness with his clothing line, B-Rude, which he describes as "mostly our printed and bejeweld apparel."

In fact, he "recently just made some one-off stuff for the delightful Debbie Harry for her recent tour, which was both a thrill and seriously cool. And we also dressed Kylie Minogue for the finale of her last worldwide tour," he says.

Despite the celebrity fan base, stars are not who he aims to dress: he divulges that "we don't target the kind of people who wear money, you know, those that would kill to have the latest designer handbag. We are more for the disenfranchised. We have a punk attitude, I guess."

Good for him! We can't wait to see his new designs, and glad that the once-troubled musician (who is releasing a new album in the near future), is enjoying some success!
