Jean Paul Gaultier 2008 Review


Okay, for today, we'll be going through Jean Paul Gaultier. Please turn to page 165 of your text.

When we first saw this collection on Style.com we thought to ourselves, "Hell, the models looked like walking corpses! Those that died in sea due to a terrible breakout of STD or aneroxia" But of course, we were wrong! For the theme of the show were something in line with pirates ala military style, imagine Jack Sparrow in pumps.



There were layers upon layers of fabric, all in absurd colours and prints. Firstly, they were in worn out camouflaged earth tones, then came the bolder colours and into more feminine hues such as purple and turquoise.


We personally love the idea of his black non-symmetrical tutu. The bustier, gloves and hat are the icing on the cake.

Honestly, we have to give it to Jean Paul for all providing with the accessories that we adore more than the clothes. The umbrella, the hats, the money bag hanging on the hips, the leather belts and boots, they really add on to the show don't they?



Jean Paul Gaultier saved the best for last (or at least we think its the best) The brides of Jack Sparrow strutted their way down the aisle in what it looks to us like thick hems of laces, holding a cig bud and some fresh white flowers.
