Now in 3D.
Style.com put their glasses on:
"Gaultier has always been at home in the souk, and ethnic inspirations find their way into his collection almost every season, be it through color, drape, or pattern. For Spring, he's focused on volumes: a long tunic worn with a suit, a patterned jacket with matching shorts, or a sleeveless caftan paired with a shirt and tie.
It was all quite elegant, of course, and also a bit subdued for JPG. Spice came in the form of surprises like Jackson Pollock-style white splatter painting on black trousers, tunics, and matching tote bags, and, at the end, the celestial prints that came alive when seen through 3-D glasses."
As that immortal philosopher Mazeppa once said, "You gotta get a gimmick." If JPG wants to jump on the Avatar train and make goofy glasses part of the fashion show experience, more power to him. As for the clothes, Style.com is right; this is kind of low-key for him, if you can call leather harem pants low-key. We like some of the pieces, especially the jackets, but the rest leaves us a little cold. So many of the menswear collections have been tight tight tight, but here's JP, playing with volume. We respect that he's going his own way, but you won't find us on the street wearing a djellaba or caftan any time soon.
