Dan and I were lucky to attend the Jean Paul Gaultier Fashion Exhibit at the Dallas Museum of Modern Art while on our vacation to Texas. His exhibit was outrageous. He is showing his collections in Montreal, San Francisco, and Dallas. Gaultier is a French designer who has an extensive design background. His collections include stunning gowns with sequins modeling the city of Paris and outfits that are influenced by world street art. His tailoring is impeccable. Jean Paul exhibited his intricate hosiery designs with skirts and cut out gowns. He showed his man skirts and had a display with a male mannequin looking into a mirror with the voice over of a conversation he might have with himself. His mannequins were creative with videos projecting images of people with voices saying "be yourself ". I am a hooked and thanks to Joe for recommending this fabulous show. Not too bad for a man who was not a classically trained designer and who at 17 years of age sent sketches to Pierre Cardin and became his assistant in Paris. His show runs until Feb 12, 2012.
THE SHOW SOUNDS FABULOUS, THANKS FOR SHARING.
