Swapping clothes rails for railway lines.<br/> <br />Iconic French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier inspects the train he helped design, at the Gare du Nord station in Paris.<br/> <br />No surprise, that just like him, the train carries his trademark parallel stripes.<br/> <br />Its destination is Rotterdam, where a major exhibition of his works is being held.<br/> <br />Gaultier says the trip by rail reflects his own journey from modest beginnings to fashion superstardom.<br/> <br />Jean-Paul Gaultier: "It's my story, in reality. The sidewalk, I come from the suburb of Paris to the catwalk which means fashion, podium, defile (catwalk show), all that kind of thing, so it's my work. So it's from where I am born to my work."<br/> <br />With his signature sailor scrawled on the train's nose, and an unexpected trip to the tracks, he's is ready to depart.<br/> <br />The exhibition will be open for three months and include 140 of Gaultier's pieces.<br/> <br />So, all aboard, next top Rotterdam.
