Couture
When I see a post from Stylecunt come up on my f-page, I usually scroll to the images and then go back to read the text. I don't want to be influenced by her opinion before I see the goods. We usually agree, but still. So when I saw the images on this post right here click it CLICK IT! I had a moment of serious fashion flutter. This stuff is ... well, it just is, people. There are no words. Once I'd recovered from the brilliance and beauty, I went back up to the top to check out the name of the designer. Oh, of course. Jean Paul Gaultier. I should have known.
Gaultier is the only designer out there about whom I can say that given the opportunity? I would wear his couture designs in a heartbeat. He is amazing. He's also the only haute couture designer I follow with any regularity. The rest of them produce architectural monstrosities that are designed to prop up egos and "artistic sensibilities." Gaultier, from what I've seen on the runways, cares about the shapes underneath his creations and designs for a body. Not a coathanger.
Look upon his fashions and despair, oh those of us who will never ever be able to afford them. Or have a reason to don them. Ah, Gaultier. How you lure me on and break my heart at the same time.
