Male and female models share the catwalk at Gaultier's Fall 2011 couture show.

You can always count on Jean Paul Gaultier to shake things up.

Fresh from designing costumes for old pal Madonna's MDNA tour, the flamboyant Frenchman has announced that he's cancelling his Spring 2013 runway show during Paris Men's Fashion Week, Women's Wear Daily reports.

But don't fret, boys. Though the June 28 men's show is no longer happening, Gaultier will still be showing off his latest dude designs at an all-day presentation at his Paris showrooms.

And expect fireworks on July 4, when Gaultier stages his Fall 2012 couture show, which will be a co-ed affair for the second year in a row. The Spring 2013 menswear collection will at last get its runway moment as male models join the couture-clad beauties on the catwalk.

Does this mean we'll get twice the Andrej Pejic? One can only hope!
