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. The late seventies and early eighties shined through the collection through the silk pajama sets, punk-era hair, and lots of …

Check out this series called Micro Matter by artist Rosa de Jong ! De Jong takes tiny building landscapes and puts them into thin, long test tubes for a creative twist on the “ship in a bottle” artworks. I’m a fan of anything that has a scientific twist to it, especially things displayed …

Bon Voyage, bitches! Gaultier, who is strictly doing only haute couture now, took us on the Love Boat on the shores of Brittany. Fun fact: The traditional striped navy shirts worn by sailors is particular to the Brittany region of France. So thank a Brittanic sailor for those jail house …

The theme for JPG’s couture collection was brides…. and there was something for every kind of bride. Some of the outfits were half man/ half woman style which reminded me of that movie, Victor/Victoria. My fave has to be the farmer girl getting married in blue satin overalls. The only thing …

Wow… It’s really the end of an era. I remember first discovering Jean Paul Gaultier when I was still in high school during the mid -nineties …. Bjork (Debut), Madonna during her Blonde Ambition Tour and MTV’s House of Style days. I admired his ability to marry avant guard (without being …

At Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture show, it was all butterfly-themed. Either Gaultier has been watching ‘Silence of the Lambs’ (I know it’s really a moth, just go with me here) or he’s been jamming to Mariah Carey’s Butterfly one too many times. Either way, it was a beautimus collection, …

It was all about leather motorcycle jackets at Gaultier’s latest collection. Could it be that Jean-Paul is reveling in ‘Teen Beach Movie‘??? Is he trying to tell us he’s not a surfer but a BIKER??? Is this collection cryptic of his questionable taste for really, really bad Disney TV …

How do you say gorgeous in French? Le Gorgeous? Nope! Jean Paul Gaultier!! I loved every piece (which is rare) of this collection. From the Cruella DeVil leopard pieces to the thick piped dresses in gold and nude, this was it! Those conical hats have a funnel quality …
