Jean Paul Gaultier x Ludovic de Saint Sernin

[jeanclaude]

I guess JPG worked with all the people he could already? I guess everyone else is on contract and can't do it... So he should do a collab with LaQuan Smith. I think LS needs the taste level infusion....

Even if the fashion industry created a "good taste" virus, as contagious as covid is, LaQuan would give negative on all the tests. He is immune to it!

I’m sorry, but with a good team and a budget, LaQuan Smith would slay Gaultier

Money can´t give him talent.

i cant wait to see what look he puts himself in 😂im sure the show will be very entertaining... They must be selling so much perfumes to kill their couture line.

I am honestly wondering, because I thought this was a test run for potential CDs for Gaultier to fully retire; but what exactly is the purpose of sharing the stage with each of these designers? We seen Haider take over TF after he did a collection with Gaultier but the partnership of Haider & Jean Paul made sense. Even last season, with Nicholas, that was great also.

But Ludovic seems a bit too green; and with how barren his designs are- I struggle to understand what is hoped for in Gaultier tapping him for the next collaboration. JPG is going to run out of designers to link with past a certain point too. haha

I think Olivier has already locked that job up a long time ago.

Please correct me if I'm wrong - did Gaultier ever express the intent to find his replacement? Again, Olivier proved seasons ago he is perfect for JPG. I would've stopped the search then. That perfume bottle look is the most famous piece that has come out of this endeavor...

AFAIK JPG is doing this to connect with a younger audience. JPG is AFAIK not pressed at all for HC clients so I wonder if any of this stuff is being made since - of course - I want an iconic JPG piece from 2004 - not a dress from Simone (it was a lovely collection though)....

As painful as that show was (so many models struggled in those dresses and shoes), the collection was exquisite. Unfortunately for them, Rousteing probably won't leave Balmain. Rousteing aside, I think that it's finally time for a long-term successor at Gaultier.

Jeremy Scott?

Actually I would love to see Gareth Pugh or Ricks Owens doing a one off with JPG

With how Rick’s collections are these days, I would rather not

I kind of love that these couture collabs are starting to feel like... rejects getting their day in the sun.

 

[tourbillions]

if they continue longer with these collabs they wont have a budget for an actual CD, probably theyll get one of the corset makrs from nyfw who makes it for drag queens,

This is actually a great idea, LS has that rebellious spirit that would match the JPG DNA. He would just need to tone down on the extra short lengths. His clothes are always well made and the shows entertaining despite some styles and lengths being questionable.

Forgot about Hussein Chalayan on my wishlist

I dont mind its JPG its not that sacred!!! and the brand played with pop camp tarshy etc so its fine combo, gives something to the HC week to see the the exams results of each selected designer ito do it it's fun.

better than watching schiaparelli, elie saab ,dior , etc season after season same thing etc

 

[Lola701]

Tbh, as much as I don’t think he is interesting as a designer, it can be enjoyable…Even with a terrible collection.

I love that JPG has a Cap Cod from Hermes with the Double Tour bracelet from Margiela on his wrist.

Yikes.

JPG is barely a fashion business at this point. It’s mostly a torso perfume bottle peddling business.

The world is not gonna go up in flames after a LdSS collab.
