Drama, excitement, and intrigue infused every aspect of the Jean Paul Gaultier show this weekend. With PETA screaming outside, a 45 minute wait, and a theatrical beginning to a show that ended in a mudfight, Gaultier had to be one of the most exciting shows thus far:

Thankfully, accessories are supremely recession proof!
