Perfume heels and hip-length jackets: Jean Paul Gaultier’s fashion show captivated again

Jean Paul Gaultier’s guest designer, Olivier Rousteing, sparked interest in the fashion show just a few days ago – the French fashion designer posted shoes on social networks in the form of men’s bodied heels, referencing the iconic La Male perfume bottle, and decorative elements on shoes like tin cans.

The photos, which have spread all over the world as of now, put the fashion show of the future in the category of the most anticipated shows at Couture Fashion Week. Although innovation, hooliganism and infamy have been synonymous with the brand from its earliest days, Jean-Paul Gaultier created clothes from napkins and batteries and brought models to the runway in boxes. And all this in the 70s and 80s.

“This collaboration helped me understand who I am without Balmain,” says Olivier. Raising the once-mentioned House from his knees, Rousteing sang perfectly in the Jean-Paul brand from the bell tower. The willful excess and courage inherent in Olivier are in the soul of Gauthier – clothes made from scraps of fabric, clothes for pregnant women with special shapes for the belly, and a combination of a top and panties with an imitation of a female breast. “male genitalia worn over a tight suit” is mandatory.

In her Couture collection, the guest designer expertly brings together Jean-Paul Gaultier codes, from iconic Madonna-favorite cone bras to avant-garde dresses. Olivier takes the words “magic” and “party” out of the equation – the story goes much deeper: “Today we’re talking about inclusivity. We’re talking about how a man can dress like a woman and how a woman can dress like a man. We talk about the freedom to be who you want to be without the judgment of society.”

One of the most remarkable tricks in the collection is to move the tops of the jackets in different roles on the chest and hips. “What I love about Jean-Paul Gaultier is that a jacket can turn into trousers and trousers into a dress. Don’t take anything lightly,” Rusten explains.

What is worth piercing with a chain that Kim Kardashian invited to the show trembled before the show – a true reference to the 1994 Gauthier show codenamed “Tatu”, which provoked fashion for such jewelry, tattoos and ethnics. In addition to the eye-catching details: boots on a high platform, large pearl beads and sleeves surrounding the toes, with fake nails – that’s what a catsuit can go with.

Not to mention the good undertaking of the design duet: at the end of the transitions, the models went out to the balcony, and fans who were not in the selection ranks (in other words, they were invited to the show ) could see the images with their own eyes. In addition, two large billboards on which the show was broadcast live were hung on the facade of the building. We applaud standing.
