Jean Paul Gaultier Couture S08

I thought this show was a lot of fun- and tastefully so. It started with beautifully tailored dark suits- similar to the Armani and Givenchy show this year. Instead of boring, I thought these suits were witty and sexy- although that just might be the wet hair. Slowly, Gaultier revealed the true theme of the show- mermaids. There were glimmers of the theme in the suits, but by the end, some outfits were nothing more than classier renditions of Ariel’s costume. Overall, I really enjoyed this mix between fashion and fantasy.
