JPG Haute Couture – warming up for Barbican exhibition

I was very pleased and relieved when I heard that the Jean Paul Gaultier retrospective was coming to London – I missed it in New York and was really disappointed (they put it in Brooklyn – I would have got to it had it been at the Met 🙂 So to whet our appetites the S/S Haute Couture Paris show – so we can see the “enfant terrible” at his most creative and at his best.  Anything to forget the perfume bottles for just a second…

The show in a nutshell…

Black widow

Butterfly headpieces

Burlesque Chic (Dita Von Teese modelling)

Showgirl Chic (there’s a reason he did Kylie’s tour)

Theatrical headpieces

An amazing red mesh skirt with millefeuille mermaid tail (stand out)

Gros Bisoux JPG – you are an absolute genius 🙂
