the same name as my father

John Paul (Gaultier, that is)
The Pre-Fall collection for 2011 is the brainchild of elegance and tailoring meets skidrow.
My favourites: silk cape framed with knee-length lapels, Motorcycle jacket-clingy wrap dress, and the monochromatic secretary.
The spring collection was pretty stellar too, and so playful!

PS: Tim Blanks has put together a lovely little tribute to Lee ALexander McQueen in a collection of his life’s works and moments. Unsurpassed and vicious, his designs truly pushed fashion as an extension of the inner mind.
RIP Lee.
