Viktor’s & Rolf’s spring collection was inspired by the art style of Cubism. You know, the art with the messed up faces and stuff ( it’s just a mess all around) mostly done by artists like Pablo Picasso. I always thought that was one of the FUG-liest type of artwork, …

This season’s collection by Jean Paul Gaultier was inspired by a very famous nightclub in Paris by the name of Le Palace, which I am guessing, was much like Studio 54 of NYC.
