Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2011 Couture Collection

Today I was bored at work, so I had time to prepare this article, though I didn’t write anything down…. So I only have the pictures. My friends, I present to you a couture collection by one of my favorite designers: Jean Paul Gaultier ! And it’s needless to say that I found it simply astonishing. And I must say I loved almost every outfit of this collection, though some please me way more than others ! But globally I think that it’s one of his best shows so far…
Anyway, enough talking, let me show you, and comment. For Jean Paul Gaultier there’s only one category: my favorites, (and you can check the rest here). Why only one category for Gaultier ? Because either you like it or hate it, there’s nothing that could have been done another way. Let’s go !

Now, you’d never expect to see a mash-up of a ballerina and a biker look, would you ? But Jean Paul Gaultier just did it, and the result is mesmerizing ! It’s so frantic !

I have to say that what’s really interesting about Jean Paul Gaultier’s collections is that each outfit is different, yet they all share the same spirit, that’s such a strength, it keeps you excited all along, you can’t get bored, and there’s always something that’ll please you !
But, nothing’s perfect, and even in Jean Paul Gaultier’s collection there are dresses I can’t stand, tell me if you disagree but these shouldn’t even exist…

(I hate this shiny fabric, it looks so cheap !)

(I hate the colors, (shiny) black, silver and blue ? That’s too much)

(What the fuck ?!)
I guess I don’t need to sum up. Even though there were three disappointing dresses, the whole collection is still incredible, and my love for Jean Paul Gaultier grew even more !
Oh fuck ! I almost forgot ! Have you noticed the heel less shoes ? Now that makes me just so happy to see these florish, people won’t look at me asking: ‘’These are shoes ? How do you even walk in them ?’’, anymore if they become popular. You gotta love them, here are the close-ups:

I hope you share my thoughts ! If not, I’m always open to any comments, suggestions, debates, etc.
Et sur ce, my friends, salut ! Et à bientôt !
