Boy George Fashion Freak Show Jean-Paul Gaultier

JEAN- PAUL GAULTIER HAS HIS OWN WEST END MUSICAL

We haven’t seen Boy George dressed to kill in awhile, so you KNOW something is happening in London. It’s opening night of Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fashion Freak Show – a theater production on the West End. The show is described as “50 years of pop culture through the eyes of JP Gaultier (who happens to be one of our favorite designers!) Actors, dancers, and circus performers in extravagant costumes fill the stage along with the music, celebrities, and movies, that inspired Gaultier through the years. Certainly Madonna will be prominently featured in that infamous bullet bra! One critic said that this production makes all the other West End shows look “beige.” By the way, George and the Culture Club are currently on tour…

Jean Paul Gaultier Kim Kardashian North West Paris Fashion Week

NORTH WEST IS CULTIVATING EXPENSIVE HABITS

Not only does Kim Kardashian manage to get herself and her family invited to the hot ticket Paris Fashion Week designer shows, but she gets them dressed head-to-toe BY the designers. (There was a time when she couldn’t even finagle an invitation!) Jean-Paul Gaultier dressed three generations of Kardashians before they attended his show, and Kim and North are sporting mother/daughter nose rings with chains. North looks VERY happy to be included in the event and is already showing symptoms of fashion addiction and paparazzi appreciation.

Ali Mahdavi Jean-Paul Gaultier

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HAS A PARTY MONSTER

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…

Christina Aguilera Jean-Paul Gaultier The Voice

CHRISTINA AGUILERA IS STILL GLAD SHE LEFT “THE VOICE”

Christina Aguilera seemed very relieved when she finally left The Voice last year after six seasons. Like it or not, the show DID give her career a boost. Since she left, Christina released an album, Liberation, which didn’t exactly burn up the charts. She’s also been touring with mediocre success and performed at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas up until June. She returns to Vegas in September, but for now she’s in Europe and turned up at the Jean-Paul Gaultier show in Paris as his muse. She shared her front row seat with an assortment of characters…

Dita Von Teese Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Fashion Week

DITA VON TEESE IS JEAN PAUL GAULTIER’S DREAM GIRL

If ever there was a match made in heaven, it’s burlesque queen (and lingerie designer) Dita Von Teese and designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Remember Gaultier’s sexy, S&M inspired wardrobe for The Fifth Element? Jean Paul invited Dita (who’s only 5’5”) to model in his couture runway show in Paris, and he named the gown she wore after HER. Dita is also appearing this week in Gaultier’s Folies Bergere extravaganza called Fashion Freak Show. It’s hard to believe that Dita is a natural blonde who grew up in California…

Jean Paul Gaultier Naomi Campbell

NAOMI CAMPBELL ON THE CATWALK: NOBODY DOES IT BETTER

131881PCN_Gaultnaomicut

Naomi Campbell,44, was the main attraction in the Jean Paul Gaultier show and she didn’t disappoint. Naomi has been on the catwalk for Gaultier since the 90’s and her appearance makes up for a lot of bad behavior. Tempestuous Naomi has a nasty habit of assaulting people with her cell phone or Blackberry. She’s been engaged multiple times (once to U2’s Adam Clayton!) to assorted billionaires, but she has never been married. Maybe that phone habit has something to do with it.

BETH DITTO: BIG GIRLS LOVE FASHION TOO


Photo via: Twitter

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier loves to include all types of models in his Paris Fashion Week shows, and plus size Beth Ditto, the lead singer for the indie band Gossip, worked the catwalk in a recent show. Last week he made her dreams come true again because he designed a custom white wedding gown for her. Beth married her longtime assistant-turned-girlfriend Kristin Ogata in an all white Hawaiian rock n’ roll wedding.

Jean Paul Gaultier Paris

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER JUST MADE THE PARIS TRAIN FANCIER

The Thalys high speed train in Paris has been decorated with drawings and the trademark sailor stripes of one of our all time favorite designers, Jean Paul Gaultier. We applaud France for finding a stylish way to avoid graffiti!

Diet Coke Jean Paul Gaultier

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER “SEXES UP” DIET COKE

One of our favorite designers for decades, Jean Paul Gaultier is now creative director for a girl’s best friend, Diet Coke, and he created a limited collection of flesh colored bottles that reflect his “night and day” concept: sailor stripes by day and corsets at night. Two models body-painted to look like bottles were set loose on the streets of London to promote the event. The bottles come in a package with a special Coke glass and the set is already featured on eBay for $80 and up. You might want to wait for the third bottle coming out later this year – it will feature his classic tattoos.

Amy Winehouse Fashion Jean Paul Gaultier

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HASN’T FORGOTTEN AMY WINEHOUSE

You’ve gotta love Jean Paul Gaultier for keeping the image of Amy Winehouse alive. Amy was the inspiration for his latest collection because he loved not only her unique style, but the way she put her clothes together and the colors she mixed. Of course the models sashaying down the runway all had towering beehives and black eyeliner and many were puffing on cigarettes. But no beat-up ballet slippers. It made us miss Amy all over again.
