Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

Sad times for fashion – first Barneys closes, and now Jean-Paul Gaultier is retiring! But he kicked off his departure with a spectacular last show in Paris full of surprise appearances. Paris Jackson made her runway debut and Boy George and Beth Ditto performed. We spotted this guy (above) in the colorful crowd and found out he is a “photographer, designer, and visual artist” named Ali Mahdavi. The well-known Iranian/French photographer does some very creative ads for Cartier, Louboutin, Piaget etc. Makes a very interesting party guest…
