Don't get us wrong, we like Jean Paul Gaultier, but there was something... uncomfortable about this spring's couture collection. Maybe we watch too much CNN, but to us, JPG's homage to Wall St. bankers, 80's excess and money-prints seemed a bit too of the moment. With so many people losing their jobs and our tax money going to failing banks instead of being used for the arguably more practical purchase of Givenchy bondage heels, JPG's usual playful subversiveness felt more like a punch in the face. And although there were some really beautiful pieces, we can't figure out why anyone would want to look like a banker anyway- doesn't everybody hate them? So yeah, we know you think it's a joke M. Gaultier, but we're too busy crying into our mac-and-cheese to laugh. :-(
