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 the venue was relatively calm inside, which allowed attendees to focus on the main fashion attraction. The collection was representative of Gaultier’s typical blurring of male and female, with women dressed in as many three piece suits as ruffle heavy flouncy dresses:

The letter X–representative of the chromosome both males and females share–was also ubiquitous throughout, found on garments in the form of sheer cutouts, stitched on details, and straps:

The clothes themselves were suggestive without revealing too much: a large majority of coats, dresses, and capes contained sheer and netted details for a soupcon of sex:

While I couldn’t see myself wearing much, I fell in love with the Chanel like two toned tights and shoes:

Thankfully, accessories are supremely recession proof!

Bisous!
