Jean Paul Gaultier x Simone Rocha

[vogue28]

Simone Rocha announced as Jean Paul Gaultier’s next couturier:

 

[Cocteau Stone]

You know what, good for her!

This could be a great opportunity for her to get out of her comfort zone a bit but to also expand her design vocabulary a little further. Hopefully it doesn't end up being a surplus of layered organza smocks in sailor-stripes and the like...

 

[THD96]

Such exciting news, I can't wait tbh, Gaultier never failed me when it come to his choice of designers.

This could be a great opportunity for Gaultier because Simone can explore more softer/romantic side of him that sometimes can be quite underrated.

OK, this is a genuinely interesting pick. I quite like Rocha when she doesn't lather on the tweeness too much, so I'll keep an open mind - something about JPG seems to bring out the best in every designer he picks.

 

[FashionFanatico]

Good news!

Even this will be undoubtly a challenge for her as she's a newbie to the crafts of Haute Couture. Hopefully the more fearless she'll be delving into the maison’s signature pieces.

It was high time (after Chitose Abe who was the first guest for FW21) to pick another woman to boost her creativity through collaboration.

It's nice to have another woman for a change.

Good surprise and I’m very excited to see this. Their universes seems like on a total opposite spectrum!

 

[Nimsay]

Probably will be ravishing. Id love to see her variant of the JPG corset.

Gaultier is cemeting his legacy as a Grand Master - the way he is developing the younger generation is unparalleled.

 

[michael123]

Surprised, yet not. I am quite excited, although indifferent about this past show.

 

[Machinegumm]

I want this to be good. I NEED this to be good. Please, don't mess this up!

 

[Cute]

Someone said the next collab is with Courrèges but I don’t know if there’s any truth to it.

Do you mean Courrèges, the brand or Nicolas Di Felice, the designer?

He only invites designers under 50s I think, Galliano was also his contemporary.

Gaultier and Lacroix are my favorite masters all time, it's a shame they're no longer interested in fashion.
