Spring 2009: Jean Paul Gaultier (Paris Fashion Week)
Jean Paul Gaultier’s RTW Spring 2009 collection show was definitely a scene. The show started and finished with a trio of professional dancers. The dance-inspired collection was definitely different from the other Spring 2009 collection but also the same in the sense that he also used sheer fabrics, which are really popular this season.
The models were in this really tight nylon wrap and black eyeliner make up focusing on the eyes and eyebrows. The dance theme was carried throughout in the shoes, the models were wearing satin wrap shoes that were reminiscent to a ballet pointe shoes. And in some of the looks, the models were carrying a chain mail bags.
The show was a mix of jersey swimsuits and capes, pin stripe suits, wide leg pants, sheer sun dresses with fur wraps and lace dresses. He explained, "To me, clothes on a hanger are simply still lives. It's only when someone wears them that they come alive. Here, the idea was to create clothes that have several uses. You can go for a swim, you can also go out and it turns into a dress."
Innerwear as an outerwear was also an element in the collection. The colors ranged from chartreuse yellow to black.

Hi there-thanks for sharing, this is a fantastic collection-I love JPG!!
I mostly like the ribbons on the ankles ^^
What a great start/end to a collection.
the hair and make up looks creepy though ^^ especially the hair.
love the backstage photos as usual, and the shoes with the bows are great.
Thank you. :)
Yeah I have trouble walking in really high heels, so I tend to walk slower than usual... lol.

Not really feeling the shoes but some of the dresses are quite lovely although it seems to be such an unusual mix of styles all in one show...
This collection is as organic and natural as anything I've ever seen from JPG. I love it.
I love the dance inspiration, and especially that last dress shown in the runway pictures! :)

i adore jpg. i try to buy a couple pieces every season.
It's these kinds of elements that make me sad that I miss because I'm not fortunate enough to be able to attend the fashion show. It seems like such a big difference being there from just seeing the photos on style.com. =/
the dancers would have been so interesting to see.
those shoes are TO DIE FOR!!!!
omg.
i'm pretty obsessed with anything looking ballerina inspired ... this is a great collection recap!
