Another Gaultier show...

Here I am, once again seated in the front row of J.P. Gaultier's show... It's been 6 months since the last time and it seems like only yesterday!

But this time the wait was longer to those on previous shows: an 80-minutes-delay, which is a lot. Many journalists and guests left... It's Haute Couture Week here in Paris and there's a show after another, so people have many scheduled appointments with a timetable that must be respected...

I stayed and the wait was worth while! It was an incredible show: from the hairdos (tight, with a strass net, work of the great Odile Gilbert) to the music by Mode-F, the make-up by Stephane Marais (another genius) and the atmosphere à la Alfred de Musset ("Confession d'un enfant du siècle"). A line-up of fifty-eight looks, theatrically presented by female and male models and even a transexual. Top hats and impossible shoes (even for myself!).

My favorite looks? Of course, the eternal black pants-tailleur, in all its variations (I have one designed by him), a black dress with a cage-corset and the red embroidered long dress, with a coat with straps...

Among the guests, Bette Midler, actress and singer, in perfect shape.

We went out of the dream to the noisy street, the traffic jams, the real life...
