Wore this to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit a few days back. This is my first jumpsuit hehe. I’ve been wanting one for a few years now but I finally found one that doesn’t make me look like a saggy balloon. Same necklace and jacket as a previous post. This is what I initially wore before switching to flat shoes for the day. The exhibit was very fascinating. Gaultier is not one of my favorite designers, then again I may be too conservative to fully appreciate avant garde, but there were more than one pieces that I have come to love. One of my favorite ensembles from the exhibit was the beautiful white Indian gown with elaborate headpiece. There were also very wearable pieces from his pret-a-porter collections including some Effel Tower fishnet tights that I really do want. It may take a while for me to accept the genius of his corsets for men and signature Madonna cone bras,but I did find the excessive chiffon and ostrich feathers intriguing. While I admire him for his strong message of expressing gender equality, I can’t help but dislike the provocative nature of most of his work. Then again art is often provocative, and perhaps I have never had an artist’s eye.
