The Matrix Meets Monroe

John Paul Gaultier is an artist with clothes, always threading together such unique and charismatic collections. He plays with the senses, clashing fur with metallics, or mixing attitude with elegance. His most recent couture garments illustrate this beautiful juxtaposition, with vintage Hollywood glamour stepping into a science fiction template. Indulgent fur cocoons the models, with an electric shimmer lurking underneath that is totally unexpected. The sharp dresses jerk out of the fur, creating silhouettes that surprise the senses. I could have posted the whole collection, but I’ve rationed my obsession into some of the staple looks below
