Joan Jett was the main inspiration on Gaultier’s latest runway

Jean Paul Gaultier latest runway was presented on Saturday, October 2nd and as expected had presented a plus size model walking on catwalk: the Gossip’s singer, Betty Ditto. Gaultier, one of the first designers to put the plus size on catwalks, make for Betty a laser cut out silver dress to open the runway and tulle set to get it closed.
The theme fitted perfectly: the rocker singer Joan Jett. Punk wigs, psychedelic futuristic prints, oversized shoulders, lace and loads of leather were the main materials seen and which gained life with Joan’s soundtrack. Denim was pretty much used, from shoulder pads and skirts to carrot jumpsuits and narrow trousers. A delicate lace gave the need contrast among the toughness of so much leather. The overlaps of thin sheer over white shirt gained attention, and so got it the nude corselet. Gaultier’s runways can be easily translated in the word “exaggerate”, since it had loads of prints and overlaps. The collection was closed with simplified pieces and a wave of black, but letting behind an effervescent ambience.
