It has been banned in public, but smoking, the theme of autumn-winter couture, has not clearly been banned as a source of fashion inspiration. The unusual homage of Jean-Paul Gaultier to one of the dirtiest and most glamorous habits in the world, parades on the catwalk in a typically ironic collection of 73 different looks.
A black tuxedo jacket bears the inscription “Gaultier Smoking” on the front, a play on the French term “smoking” meant as a jacket and the same in English that refers to smoking, in a myriad of black and white deconstructions of tuxedo look while tulle masks followed white feather boas that floated in the air like smoke.
A surreal variation of the red hat of Fez of Morocco, a country famous for its shisha pipes, makes its appearance by covering the face and the slits of the eyes and its red tassels seem to fall like tears. Gaultier has also made fun of the conventions using the cigarette, the number one enemy of health authorities around the world, as the inspiration for most of his jewels.
But the final creation, a giant silver wedding veil, was the most creative aspect. Its shimmering five-meter train was so diaphanous that it moved the air, increasing the trail of smoke.
The French fashion icon Jean-Paul Gaultier has also opened a new front in the battle for bras with the slogan “Free the nipples”, showing his support for a teenager in Florida who have blindfolded her breasts in front of all the high school as a punishment for not wearing a bra under his sweatshirt.
And to beat the point Jean-Paul Gaultier staged a man and a woman on the catwalk, obviously bare-chested, each wearing transparent detective visors with the words “Free the nipples” in French and English.
Thank you Jean Paul Gaultier for your ode to freedom.
