Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture SS 2016

The enfant terrible of fashion brings to the catwalk the magnificence of the Palace, the famous Paris nightclub that in the late 1970s and the mid 1980s was the meeting place of socialites, artists, designers and fashion icons. The models took on the runaway wearing flamboyant pyjama suits, Tuxedo jackets worn over sequins dresses or cinched at the waist with obi belts, men's shirts under transparent tunics and lace skirts. Each outfit seems to impress, seduce and get noticed, preferring unusual prints, sparkling appliqués and precious colours. In the name of an hedonism that is today researched with nostalgia and made even more obvious by the champagne flutes held by the models in the final part of the show.
