JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

BEFORE CATCHING THE TRAIN to geelong 
i went to see jean paul gaultier at the NGV - sensational!





A MIX OF FASHION
AND THEATRE

the models have these amazing faces -
photographic and projected onto the blank head, the eyes blink and look around the room, sometimes the mouths move with
the singing on sound
tracks - mesmerising.
AND some speak, 
french and english and often very funny.
such an entertaining
and generous 
offering

I love this 
photo of naomi 
campbell in
1988 - put
a bunch of 
bananas round
her hips and 
she could
be josephine
baker

this dress looks so classically beautiful but it had no front

a face - just for me

this is the front . . . 

and this is the back

camouflage fabric with a big twist

 

even the
backdrops
were
inventive -
a standard
lamp and
chair behind
stretch 
white fabric
