Anyone else thinking Howard Hughes?
(not ringing a bell? Think Leonardo DiCaprio in The Aviator!!)
Ah, the season for leather! Hermès kept its reputation for the most exquisite skins and leathers soaring high as Jean Paul Gaultier was allowed some room for imagination in presentation for the RTW Fall 09 show in Paris.
As a result of the current recession the industry has given us an outfit to match with the "depression look". Thankfully, things are beginning to brighten up-a bit- (thankfully!) but are still hanging around the 40s.
With propellers spinning amongst blinding headlights, JPG brings the audience into his hanger to present his vision of "les aviateurs- we are flying high" laughs Gaultier in the most delicious French accent, when asked about his autumn collection. Leather and satine jumpsuits, masculine tailored suits, Gaultier allows us to see what the 40s would have been like, if women took over the skies in sexy little black dresses.
This show was all about the accessories including gorgeous furs, gloves and belts. And of course, pilot essentials: silk scarf, goggles and a leather flying caps.
*Radiant red locks makes it impossible to not recognize Canadian's own supermod- Coco Rocha! That my friends is a girl who's not afraid to do what she wants, when she wants! LOVE it.
Bon voyage!
