On the Runway - Jean Paul Gaultier

 I was feeling a little bored today... when suddenly I remembered Fashion Week was happening in Paris! Jean Paul Gaultier gave his Springtime 2011 Fashion show in Paris this week. It was titled : Black Magic.
Jean Paul Gaultier as a tradition of giving his outfits names such as : Le Chat Noir, Punk Is Not Dead and Moulin Rouge. ---Neat-o!


And, here is mouthful that makes you feel like you just ate something incredibly delicious:

"Pieces like a pale celadon silk evening gown overlaid with intricate corsetry, silk brocade tuxedo suits, studded biker jackets teamed with chainmail T-shirts and fishtail skirts, black lacquered silk trench shown over voluminous silk tulle petticoats were head turning."....delicious no?
Have a look at the slide show of images on the New York Times website, my favorite image is of the French Can Can dress # 9

What is the Moulin Rouge?

Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec painted numerous posters and scenes of night life at the Moulin Rouge. And for a little laugh visit the Moulin Rouge Can Can Dancers from 1902


Bye!
