Jean Paul Gaultier has being my inspiration as a designer since 1988. The early years before Madonna choose him for the blond ambition tour where the best years for any fashionista growing up in the 1980's. My collection of Gaultier surpasses 500 pieces. Many of the clothes i own from him are from his earlier years 1979-----1990s Many of the pieces are almost one of a kind and some labels are very unique.

Please visit my website for more on my 20 year collection and the designers I have saved from extinction!

"Francisco Medavogs collection started off as a small sampling of some European couture designs to help him study FASHION design. By looking at the French seams and other intricacies, he learned about couture construction through the true masters of design. This hobby quickly became a collection of more than 25,000 fashion items, primarily 20th century European designs, with a number of them extending back to the 1920s and 30s.

"At first, I didn't quite understand why so many people were interested in seeing these clothes," says Francisco. "For me, the clothes were simply great examples of what I was able to study while at the Fashion Institute. Now, I feel that my collection is the beginning of a wonderful museum collection."

"I'd love to open the first American Fashion Museum, devoted solely to fashion and couture, similar to Zandra Rhodes' museum in London."
