A Mexican breeze blew into Paris this week and left the crowd saying one name, Gaultier.
Jean Paul Gaultier sent his models down the runway to Mariachi music, and everyone watched as look after look passed by, and each was as interesting if not more as the last. I think the best part about his designs were the strips of fabric woven together to look like palm fronds. I immediately recalled island art and was amazed that someone could turn something that typically looked cheap into couture, but then again it is Gaultier.
While some of the designs were a stretch and should have been costumes in the Avatar movie, for the most part it was interesting, creative, and most importantly, different.
Gaultier definitely generated the most buzz this week in Paris, and while his outfits were over the top, I am interested to see who will snag a few of his designs for the next red carpet event. I'm wondering if Lady Gaga will be seen dressed in a Mexican, futurist design hot off the runway of Paris.
