Jean Paul Gaultier's Haute Couture Runway show...

As it happens every year, the first week of July is that of the Fall-Winter Haute Couture runway shows...

And I couldn't miss the chance to see a fun and fantastic show as the ones Jean-Paul Gaultier proposes every season.

At the 325 of Rue St. Martin, were he has his atelier and runway hall (a real privilege because not all designers have both on the same place), by 2:30 pm, there were already lots of black Mercedes with drivers bringing the "precious" clients from Russia, the Emirates, India and America. But also, of course, the many fashion editors covering the show, although I did not see Anna Wintour.

There's always a Hollywood star invited, and this time it was the turn of Milla Jovovich, who came with her husband, director Paul W. S. Anderson, and her little daughter Ever Gabo.

Of course, the show began with an-hour delay, as usual. But this time we were given fancy feather fans to stand the summer heat.

Anyway, it was worth the wait, because the show was sensational and better than previous ones, I shall say. For the first time, there were also men on the runway, wearing totally crazy looks, such as feathery skirts or lace trousers with Swarovsky cristals. Very exotic, but yet beautiful.

As for women (all of them with feather arrangements on their heads), we saw coats and suits for the day in tweed or with details in fur, but also black pants, lots of leather, some skirts and the classic Gaultier trench. For the night, sumptuous dresses and shinny fourreaux.

The last look was modeled by Mylène Farmer, the famous French singer, who looked divine.

And of course, him... the eternal "enfant terrible" of the Fashion world, as always, running along his runway, with an ear-to-ear smile.

A real pleasure to witness such unique show...
