Jean Paul Gaultier
Spring Couture 2012
It was fun. It was also an ode to Amy Winehouse, which made for a peculiar motif. The girls wore big, swirling beehive wigs and ultrathick cat-eye eye liner. They strutted in looks that boasted names from Winehouse’s lyrics, including “No, no, no,” “A taste of you,” and “Stronger than me,” while a live a capella quartet sang “Rehab.” For the finale, the girls stripped down to various states of corsetry, many now wearing black veils, before Gaultier did his usual high-energy spring toward the cameras.
RIP Amy… a fond place in my heart for her as one of my halloween costumes many years ago.
