Jean Paul Gaultier is one of the luckiest designers in the world. He gets to express himself through his designs, which range from the utterly wearable to the downright kooky, all the while enjoying both critical and commercial success.
I always think back to the Sundance documentary The Day Before Jean Paul Gaultier, as it’s very easy to forget how cerebral Gaultier is because one can get so mesmerized by his unparalleled (especially for a French designer), bubbling personality. The couturier in Gaultier, however, was strongly evident in the designer’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection, full of endless bells and whistles.
