If you find yoursef in San Francisco, I highly recommend chicking out Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at De Young museum! See photos I
took whilst visiting California last month and try to go see it in person, photos don't do any justice... Enjoy! x
From De Young: The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk
Herbst Special
Exhibition Galleries | March 24, 2012 - August
19, 2012
Dubbed
fashion’s enfant terrible, Jean Paul Gaultier launched his first prêt-à-porter
collection in 1976 and founded his own couture house in 1997. Emerging as a
designer in the 1970s, he developed his own dress codes that reflected the
changing world around him.
This
dynamic, multimedia exhibition includes 140 haute couture and prêt-à-porter
designs created between the mid-1970s and 2010, along with numerous sketches,
archival documents, fashion photographs, and video clips that spotlight
Gaultier’s collaborations with filmmakers, choreographers, and musicians, most
notably Madonna. For this presentation, Gaultier partnered with the
Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30
animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.
