QUOTE: Jean Paul Gaultier, Designer
Jean Paul talks about his current collaboration with Target…“What I am doing [for Target] is still Gaultier, very Jean Paul Gaultier, it’s in my style. But it’s different — clothes for more people and less expensive and more affordable, but still modern. It’s nice. It’s an element of surprise they want, so that’s good.”
Jean Paul Gaultier To Do Target Collection
Rumor was true, JPG will do a Target line, which will hit stores March 7th. The inspiration:
Jean Paul Gaultier for Target pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture, the retailer said.
RUNWAY: Hermès Spring 2010
Tennis is not my strong-suit, but it looks like it is Jean Paul Gaultier’s! Focusing on the preppy sport for the Hermès Spring 2010 collection, Gaultier showed several tennis tees and skirts that evolved into dresses, cardigans and flowing jacks and suits. Gaultier even threw in some leather , but let’s be honest, aren’t the fall colored chocolate brown and dark navy colors a little out of place for the lightness that is spring?
RUNWAY: Jean Paul Gaultier, Women’s Spring/Summer 2010
Another example that military-inspired and cut outs are now, and will be, the biggest trend. Jean Paul Gaultier’s women’s S/S 2010 looks are awesome! What do you guys think?

MOMENT OF STYLE: Dita von Teese at Jean Paul Gaultier
Dita von Teese wore her hair up to Jean Paul Gaultier show in Paris on Saturday. She was invited to sit front row and tweeted the entire time: “Gaultier was FAB! Lots of new ways to wear luscious peach satin circle-stitched bullet bras! LOVED IT!”
COLLAB: Dr.Martens And Jean-Paul Gaultier Boots
I’m in love with these Jean-Paul Gaultier Dr. Martens…the cutouts are amazing! These beauties were seen in French Vogue, but have yet to hit stores (at least to my knowledge)…love them or hate them?

Size 10 Model Lara Stone Captivating the Runways
Lara is also being referred to as he girl with the Brigitte Bardot looks…..okay, I can see some of that, but what I’m most excited about is, the fact that she has a “real body.” You all know what I’m talking about. The opinions and comments that I express here are not in anyway meant to offend anyone, but it is quite refreshing to see someone who can put on a dress and actually “fill it out.” I’m aware that it is the designer’s choice as to the models used to “sport their wares,” but some of the young ladies with the ribs showing and the knees that look as though they are about to snap in two if they walk too fast are a bit too thin for some of the clothes. Hats off to the designers who are using Lara in their shows! read more below from the actual article.
Every so often a truly original model emerges. Lara Stone is 25 – comparatively old in an industry where most are deemed past it by the time they reach their mid-twenties. She is a relatively curvaceous British size 10, with feet that measure a six (instead of sample size seven to eight), wispy fair hair and a noticeable gap between her two front teeth. Yet somehow it’s a mesmerising combination.
Stone’s unique look has designers and fashion editors swooning; Prada contracted her for a semi-exclusive catwalking deal (preventing any other designer from using Stone before she walked in its a/w 09 show), and French Vogue dedicated its entire February issue to her – marking the return of sultry, Brigitte Bardot-esque, womanly proportions. Born in Holland, Stone first emerged when she entered the Elite Model Look competition in 1999. She didn’t win, but the Elite judges glimpsed a flicker of potential in the 15-year-old, and agreed to sign her regardless. After several frustrating years her breakthrough finally came when she made it on to the books at IMG International, and a prestigious catwalk debut in Givenchy’s a/w 06 couture show followed.
This season has seen the renewal of contracts with Givenchy and Hugo Boss, and Stone has also been signed as the face of Jean Paul Gaultier and Jaeger – whose chief executive, Belinda Earl, is quick with praise for the star of its new campaign. ‘Lara is stylish, confident, chic, and most importantly she’s a real woman.’
Perhaps these defining qualities go some way towards explaining the fact that for a/w 09 Stone walked in no fewer than 14 ready-to-wear shows in 19 days, not to mention a further three in Paris last July, when she opened both Chanel’s and Jean Paul Gaultier’s haute couture shows. She might not fit the stereotype, but this certainly hasn’t stopped her from having the fashion world at her feet. Welcome to a season in the life of Lara Stone.

AD-DICT: Raquel Zimmermann For Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2009
Raquel Zimmermann got in touch with both her masculine and feminine sides for Fall 2009’s Jean Paul Gaultier campaign. That is some genius photoshopping.
Thanks Fashionologie!
AD-DICT: Raquel Zimmermann for Jean Paul Gaultier Fall ‘09
Raquel Zimmerman successfully plays both gender rolls in these Jean Paul Gaultier Fall ads. Raquel has always been a bit androgynous looking with her sharp cheekbones and pointed nose but this short haircut and masculine styling takes the look to the extreme. I’m loving the masculine/feminine dichotomy in these ads. This is proof of a versatile model and a versatile collection.

Hermes Birkin by Jean Paul Gaultier
“My idea was to work around the trompe l’oeil concept with the Birkin,” Hermes designer, Jean Paul Gaultier, recently explained to Harper’s Bazaar. “The flap, straps, and clochette seem to have been chiseled in the raw material, the result of unbelievable craftsmanship.” And the price… just under $11,000.
