Jean-Paul Gaultier has always blown me away and I want to stress that it is not a bloated statement of ass kissing of some sort.
An architecht of clothing, he makes of a dress a perfect construction of poetry, imagination and shape.
I always went to his shows, especially the Couture ones, as if I were going to the theater. When I learned that he has also assembled costumes for over 18 ballets choreographed by Régine Chopinot between 1983 and 1994, I wasn't surprised one bit. In my eyes he has long mastered the art of the spectacle and motion.
This year marks a round 30 years of a spectacular career, and symbolically the dance costumes JPG built are about to leave the Centre chorégraphique de La Rochelle for the famous Parisian musée de la Mode et du Textile to star in their own show, an homage to the creative collaboration between the designer and the choreographer. As a little treat the expo will also feature a few Haute Couture pieces
