I'm lost for words. I can't talk about it. I love JPG and his collections, his work for Hermes and his film costumes. I share his love of stripes and Spanish influence in costume/style.
Now I'm crying again over the hot mess that was his show. I don't care about the size issue nor the notion that the collection gets distilled down from the performance. I just plain disliked it.
I will never feel the love for Doc Martens or look a likes and quasi layering is wrong for a show/collection, it seems pretend work.
Hot mess is right. Bleh.
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I thought when seeing these pictures: Joan Jett and Hally Barrie had a baby.
ReplyDeleteI am so with ya, darling!

I am howling at Bel's comment! This is truly terrible. And I don't think this is where they're going when they say "enfant terrible" :-)
ReplyDeleteHow did the powers that be at Hermes ever consider JPG for their designer?
ReplyDeleteAs a designer he is many things, but not he's not Hermes.
I am with you here, I love JPG but not this collection x
ReplyDeleteI normally love Gaultier (and unlike you, I adore Doc Martens/similar shoes, and I loved the ones at Yohji) but honestly, this is not one of his best collections. I can't even see how it could break down into wearability.
ReplyDeleteBelle de Ville: consider this- before Gaultier, Hermes's designer-in-chief was Martin Margiela! Fashion makes strange bedfellows out of some people indeed.
I havent had the heart to look today, why, why,why are the collections this season so disapointing!
ReplyDeleteYep that is pretty awful.

Dear Kate, I totally agree with you about this collection. The couture collection on the other hand was amazing xx
ReplyDeletealways say no to black and white lace.....
ReplyDelete*Weeps*
ReplyDeleteOh dear fashion gods, how could you allow this?? I love JPG. I loved wearing and looking at JPG for decades. But THIS...it's...it's just so...horrible!!! I can't look at it without crying.
Oh no. Oh Paul. Oh dear oh dear.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of time for him, which is rare for me, but yikes...
Oh, boy, you totally nailed it. But have hope, he'll bounce back next season, right?!
