This past weekend I took a trip up to Montréal. While I was there, I visited the Musée des beaux-arts de Montréal. Luckily, the Jean-Paul Gaultier exhibit was still there. The exhibition: "The Fashion World of Jean-Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk" ran from June 17-October 2. Gaultier considers this to be a creation in its own right rather than a retrospective. The exhibit consisted of approximately 140 ensembles, mainly from the designer's couture collections, along with accessories. Created between the early 1970s-2010, these pieces have never been exhibited... Until NOW!
"I think the way people dress today is a form of artistic expression. Saint Laurent, for instance, has made great art. Art lies in the way the whole outfit is put together. Take Jean Paul Gaultier. What he does is really art"
