Gaultier

Today is famed French designer Jean Paul Gaultier's birthday and I can't think of a better reason to post these pics I've been hoarding for the past few months. These are from his exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum, "From Sidewalk to Catwalk".  From the themes to the clothes to the execution, it was hands down one of the coolest exhibits I've ever experienced. I took over 200 pictures, but managed to narrow it down to some of my favorites. Enjoy!


The exhibit started with superimposed faces on mannequins. How creative is that? That was only the beginning....



























There you have it! Beading, feathers, fur, fringe, buckles, corsets and embroidery galore. Gaultier's bold designs continue to leave a major impact in the fashion world. It might be his birthday, but he has given us the gift! I hope you're inspired to have a bold day!
