Haute in Paris: Jean Paul Gaultier






Most fashion insiders consider Jean Paul Gaultier to be the last of the great couturiers. Once labeled the rebel-punk of haute couture, he has since been accepted as a treasure of the fashion community and a modern symbol of high fashion for France. Gaultier's couture show differs from most in that they often have a varied story to tell with a wide spectrum of looks. From finely tailored suits to tiered floor-length ethic print chiffon dresses and it wouldn't be Gaultier without a few bondage inspired looks. A tribal element is always added to his collection, this season with the feathered mo-hawks that adorned the models. This collection marks the return of classic Gaultier and one ponders if his recent split with Hermes led to the rejuvenation of his own house. Either way, Viva Gaultier!!!
