The theme was granny chic at Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2011 show, with models sporting grey beehive hairstyles and side swept bouffants walking seductively down the mile long runway.
Pussy bow blouses in patterned satin along with sparkly tweed pantsuits were hidden under fur trimmed coats, only to be revealed minutes later as each model took off their stuffy overcoats, scarves, and gloves, and discarded them on a pile at the end of the runway.
The song playing whispered, “toutes les femmes sont exceptionelles,” (all women are exceptional) to underscore that old age doesn’t always have to mean dowdy–it can be sexy, too.
To drive the point home, veteran French actress Valérie Lemercier opened and closed the show, doing an alluring striptease with each step.
