What a fun blast of deconstruction and fetish wear. I like how shirts and suits are pulled apart and twisted, with bloomers showing and so forth. And those tattoo prints, especially on the tights, are fabulous, especially because real skin tattoos are mixed in via the eclectic cast. Then all those corsets and the underwear.
Yes, Jean Paul, we do tend to compartmentalize our lives, but kindly you blur all the lines for us and we get to see the sexy stuff underneath the suits and shirt!
Never take your tongue out of your cheek.

For once, I really love Gaultier. The clothes were beautiful, the hair and makeup was beautiful, and I'm definitely glad he's back to his previous way of showing; the coziness really compliments his collections.
Lovely and lively collection. I like the inclusion of the telltale Gaultier trademarks (as always): corsets, sailor stripes, and trenches. My favorite looks are the dress with the orange headwrap and this gray suit. The suit's fabric intrigues me -- it looks like silk shantung.
