London-based designer Ziad Ghanem went all dramatic and theatrical this season with models in vaudevillian make-up and dress. The collection didm’t look like it had a specific theme, it looked really random. I would say he’s sorta, kinda the British Jean Paul Gaultier, but Gaultier is a bit more polished in …

Here are my favorite looks from Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring Haute Couture show. The fifth photo is awesome! It’s like an ‘elegant’ redo of the Madonna cone bra corset. Only Gaultier can make boobs look like chic traffic cones. The finale of his shows is usually a wedding …

Check out gothic brand Alice Auaa fashion show collection during Tokyo Fashion Week. I love Japanese fashion and this is no exception…. that plaid outfit is all kinds of awesome. And the trench coat is very Jean-Paul Gaultier-ish. I’m a big fan of the Goth-lolita look, but as a person …

Gaultier’s show was a parade of all the 1980’s icons in music… Madonna, Annie Lennox, Michael Jackson, Sade, Boy George, David Bowie… basically everyone who was on MTV first back when they were playing music videos and not a bunch of trashy, drunk, oompa loompa’s in their habitat. Anywho, I thought …

Since everybody and their mother are doing resort collections now, I thought I should write about a few. This is Jean Paul Gaultier‘s resort collection that has heavy nautical elements. Even though I’m not a turban wearing kinda gal, I do like it in this context. I just want to …

Romance was Born and Marvel teamed up during Australian Fashion Week for a most electric collection based on comics. I love love love the red hair. I miss my red hair, but it was a lot of upkeep and it killed my scalp. The chola brows are a little much, but …

Amy Wino really left an impression on Jean-Paul Gaultier because dude’s entire couture collection was dedicated and inspired by her, which I found strange. The beehives, the cat eyeliner, the crackie shakes-the 50s/60s silhouettes were all part of the tribute to Amy Winehouse. The only thing missing were the ballet flats. …

If you happen to be in Montreal, you should get to the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts before October 2 to see the archived collections of Jean Paul Gaultier. As a huge gaultier fan, I’m kinda bummed that this exhibit probably will not be touring in the US, at least …
