Jean Paul Gaultier Catwalk Fashion Show ss2010

With Jean Paul Gaultier’s fashion show being called G Spot it was not hard to predict what the collection would be about. It appeared lingerie played a big part in his collection. And now that lingerie is seen in so many collections, JPG would be crazy not to use this theme. He brought back his oh so famous cone-bra, which he designed for Madonna in the late eighties. It was incorporated in a lot of designs. The streetwise gangstergirls who opened JPG’s show wore denim overalls with cone-bra details. Later on when the models turned into military types and pin-up girls it kept coming back. One model even wore a cone-bra with matching (pregnancy?) cone-belly. Although some fun spiral bracelets were shown in most outfits the bra was the highlight of the designs. Maybe JPG had overused this success-design a bit. But that certainly won’t mean celebrity guests Katy Perry, Rihanna and Dita Von Teese wouldn’t love to wear one of JPG’s cone-bra designs on stage. (Tess van Daelen)
