Paris Haute Couture Spring 2011: Jean Paul Gaultier

powerful look....


coney island high, but tea length... theres nothing i dont love about it.




love the cigarette holder...



Zac Posen had a dream...



there is remarkable precious sweetness amidst the plastic. the future of Pride and Prejudice. I just LOVE this one.




I took this one because i like all the different ways you can combine gold textures, lets ignore the model for a moment who doesn't hold the attitude of the other girls. There is something about this concept that needs expansion..



I love how Gaultier "presented his collection with no catwalk music, accompanying the looks with only the deep, sultry voice of legendary actress Catherine Deneuve" .. just 6 months ago,we used Catherine Deneuve as stylistic inspiration for my mom's hair and makeup. :)

Trip to the pleating facotry.
