Haute Couture á Paris...

I'm a woman of rituals. I like to keep certain habits, I like doing the same things on and on. Going to Gaultier's Haute Couture show is one of them. I must have seen at least 10 of his last collections, but it's always a pleasure and there's always something new and surprising to discover and learn.
I love that I almost always get the same seat, which gives me the chance to observe that unique and special "fauna" that is the select audience of Parisian Haute Couture shows. On one side, the rich clients of the emerging economies, arrived all the way from China, India, Russia, Korea... Perfect make-up, Hermés bags and dressed in fashion's hottest looks. Very luxurious. On the other side, the press and the famous editors of Vogue, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, strictly dressed in black, very "detachées" from the rest of us...

And the stars!!! There's always a celebrity from the cinema or music world, who usually gets seats in a special area, surrounded by a cloud of paparazzis. This time it was the turn of Paz Vega, Rossy de Palma, Abel Ferrara, Amanda Lear and the-always-loyal-to-Gaultier Catherine Deneuve.

For the first time, the wait wasn't too long, just a half-hour delay... And the "dream" began, because it was that: a dream, not a runway show!

It was something so out of reality, so far from life's banality... The theme chosen was India, in all its splendor. The models looked stunning and I must say the Argentine Milagros Schmoll also shone by her beauty and talent.

Important jewelry, incredibly high heels, indian percussion music... Forty-six amazing looks...

Including the bride, who walked to the music of "La Vie en Rose" in Indian version (a hit of the season), and who under her huge skirt had hidden four small bridesmaids and a doll on her backpack...

Running as usual, Jean Paul Gaultier appeared for the final salute. Modern Peter Pan... A true sorcerer who made us all day-dream for 17 minutes...
