Fall 2009 Runway

I can't figure out how to post the video on here.
But please watch it.

Originally I saw the pictures of the collection and was a little put off, it was definitely a step down from past Gareth Pugh collections, but then I saw the video he used as his runway show (this guy is BRILLIANT) and I was just as stunned as I have been. Please watch the video, the pictures DO NOT do this collection justice.

Jean Paul Gaultier

Jean Paul Gaultier's fall collection recently showed in Paris&I must say, it is possibly the best collection I have seen. Not the STRONGEST, but he manages to seemlessly incorporate everything I love about fashion right now.

androgyny:


futuristic monotone:


mod:


dark red (in color for fall):


lace-up doc marten-esque boots interspersed with stilettos and ankle boots:



80's:


Sharp lines:



Glam-Fierce-Chic:


Studs N' Leather N' Fringed Suede:


Items with severe virtues in how they move:


I am floored by how he managed to incorporate al of these trends, while modifying some of them to more of an individual fashion-forward manner AND keeping the entire collection consistent.
