Spring Couture 2010: Jean Paul Gaultier

I had a think about it and since I couldn't get the collection out of my mind, have decided that this collection is good, even great. It is at least light years better than the dismal men's season showing - but not because of the Avatar references. The latter just smacks of desperation. Mr Gaultier vision is resolutely, atavistically it seems, rooted in the gilded past of hourglass corsets and elaborate decoration. Let's ignore some of his themetic execesses (is it some sort of misguided marketing ploy?) and focus on some of these looks, which represent a new idea or two, while reinforcing his signatures.
