Gaultier SS05 Haute Couture

[brian]

this collection is so amazing... i love all of it, and how he mixes fantasy with reality and yet it's all still so wearable and modern. definitely his best couture collection in a while.

its quite an interesting collection especially the more flamboyant pieces. the more wearable ones remind me of YSL when Tom Ford was still there

 

[Deleted member 1957]

does anyone know who the black models are? i ve seen naomi, januel, alek and another one called phine kamara

I think Gaultier is brilliant.

This is couture!

...that's funny because it reminds me of YSL when YSL was still there...
he's famous for his african and tribal inspired pieces and of course later came the safari jacket...

i'll try to find some pictures...

I love it!

the nipple tassles seem a little weird to me.

 

[pradaromance]

FANTASTIC! this is a great mix of fantasy/practicality/beautiful/gritty...lovely...really, this makes me so happy that something amazing has come out of this Couture week of let-downs


love the details...the face dresses! , ill take the blue one please, how about the black cocktail dress with purple lining and poof sleeves...and a burnt orange bustier dress too, while your at it

Ditto, softie. www.ysl-hautecouture.com has photos of the famous beaded African dress.

P.S.

Don't forget that Gaultier's pointy bra look is a YSL spin-off.

I love everything from the beginning of the show, except for the tortoise-accesoiries....makes me look at my own tortoises with a strange face...I did not like all the African stuff in the second part though, it sometimes really scared me with all those faces in the dresses....Plus la mariée was awfull...

For anyone interested in exploring the similarities between this collection and YSL's exploration of African tribal culture look through here....http://http://www.firstview.com/HCspring2002/YVES_SAINT_LAURENTI/S001.html

Spike413, nice link!

Being completely new to fashion, is it stating the obvious how much more sophisticated the YSL collection looks in comparison?

I actually said the word Wow after that one.

Im not sure what I think of this, there are some interesting ideas but I don't like the overall look. I am not a fan of Gaultier (for mens designs at least) at all.

I love the hair and the fox on one models shoulders, rest is boring

There's a suit from this collection that somehow ressembles Mariacarla's Balenciaga S/S 05 collection, I can also some slight ressemblance btwn Jessica Stam's outfit and an outfit from DKNY's F/W 04 collection, and the rest is so Roberto Cavalli.

I don't like this show at all.
