MONTREAL COUTURE
GAULTIER:
STRIPES
The stripe story was surprising in this sense that the simple "pull matelot"- sailor sweater- was declined in a number of materials, all very un-sailor like...
BEADING
Lace like beading
This dress is ENTIRELY covered in beads.
This dress blew my mind! I thought it was a very stunning leopard skin on a maroon skirt apron style.
It was.
BUT, the leopard skin is in fact embroidered in tiny beads (detail below).
FEATHERS
The parrot as sleeve ornamnet
The pheasant as boot
The Apache warrior as bride
Just another detail that made the exhibit so unique: the moving images of people talking,smiling and even winking projected on mannequin faces, including Jean Paul Gaultier!
Slightly "creepy" at first, but extraordinary.
au revoir.

I saw this exhibition a couple of weeks ago and it was brilliant!
