Are you a fashion geek like me and followed Jean Paul Gaultier through the years? If you did, you would have loved his most recent Haute Couture showing. It mixed the elaborate silhouettes, miles of silk tulle and dramatic head pieces he is known for.
This collection had some punk influence, some Can-Can surprises and wildly colorful prints. A certain flamenco influence that we have seen before made its way to some of the looks. While thumping DJ sets are expected at most fashion shows these days, Gaultier bucked the standard and surprised everyone with an elegant Catherine Deneuve. Her voice announced each look verbally in the tradition of Haute Couture's classic presentations.
Accessories included the dramatic feathered mohawks of course. Some of the models sported the JPG and Alain Mikli collaborative group of eyeglasses.
