by Richard West-Soley 239 views

This year's French representatives may very well be the best-dressed males in the contest next week, as it was revealed that Jean Paul Gaultier has exlusively designed the costumes they will wear.

Jean Paul is the man behind Les Fatals Picards' stage gear for Saturday, and to mark the occasion, the man himself will be arriving in Helsinki in the middle of next week to be part of the action. Les Fatals Picards already have a reputation for wearing sharp suits, as attested in their promotional video for the French entry this year, L'amour à la française. Gaultier will add a touch of extra class to the look with the exclusive designs.

Les Fatals arrive in Helsinki this weekend ready for their first rehearsal on Monday.
