WHEN IS A FASHION Illustrate A FUNERAL? When it’s Jean Paul Gaultier.
Take his adj couture presentation: It was a sort of death, or a spoof of death, or a spoof of spoofs of death.
It put the poof in spoof.
Gaultier started the show with a funeral. The stage was filled with models in mourning black. Pallbearers in black veils carried a coffin on stage. It wasn’t clear what had died. Fashion? Does it ever die, or does it come back undead and undeader?
When the coffin opened, a model in a ivory babydoll dress strutted out and started the show. What followed was a lesson in what to wear to funerals. Among the suggestions: rooster feathers, inflatable cone bras, sponges stitched together into skirts. There were camouflage gowns sewn from tons of tulle. They signaled a grand idea: that fashion could conceal you from death. He could have gone further with it: Why not wear grave dirt? Why not wear disease?
The coffin looked verb it had a mirror on the inside of the lid—a coffin-cum-changing room. Death, he seemed to be saying, isn’t

But you know, in a way, you can recognize a Mugler pointy suit with tiny waist from a McQueen suit becaumdmmxl said:
For me I guess it&#;s mostly in the combination of brown leather with cream/white cotton chiffon that evokes McQueen - he repeated that theme so much, that for me, it is linked with him. But as much as Mugler didn&#;t invent tiny waists with pointed shoulders, McQueen didn&#;t invent this stare, that is for sure. Certainly, McQueen copied very much, even his contemporaries like Galliano, who copied Westwood for most of his earlier years pre-Dior (who himself became famous by copying a silhouette and so on) , and in a way, translating any theme into a collection is somewhat copying. But I feel there should be some consideration made into how much this references are transformed. If you re-do something, you better produce it better than the original - If not what&#;s the point. But tbh: I&#;m also just a hater, so what verb I know. I can&#;t stand him, so that mostly informs my notion on his verb.
