Kylie Minogue and Jean Paul Gaultier are rekindling their long-standing creative partnership for the singer's Kiss Me Once Tour, which kicks off in Liverpool tonight.

Fashion's enfant terrible - who last week confirmed he is canning his ready-to-wear line to focus on fragrance, couture and special projects such as this - has created two Moulin Rouge-inspired looks in his Paris atelier for the Aussie pop star to wear on stage.

A sketch of the designs, which has the words 'Kylie Cherie' scrawled across the top, was unveiled today by WWD.

Kylie's Kiss Me Once tour will take in 33 dates across 15 European cities, and promises to be as big a fashion spectacle as a musical one - Marchesa have also contributed to her wardrobe.
