Gaultier - wow!

Now, we know the term 'Haute Couture' was coined with Jean Paul Gaultier in mind and I for one didn't think he could get any better. But yesterdays show takes the biscuit.

On paper, french can-can girls and british punk rock do not mix, but, Gaultier has worked his magic in the only way he knows how. Topping the show off in style with a classic bridal piece, modelled in a less than classic way.

Gaultiers new muse was the star of the show, not shocking you might say, all designers do that. Yes they do, but do they let their male muse star in their womenswear couture show? I think not.

But Gaultier gets away with it, he's french, Avant Guarde may aswell be his middle name - so it works, and to be honest would you really know that Andrej Pejic is a man if you hadn't been told beforehand?

Words cannot describe the love/hate relationship I have had with Gaultier over the years (I am not a fan of the old Madonna pointy bra effect and never will be), but the reason I keep coming back is that he just keeps us guessing - and that's exciting, that is what true couture should be.
