Nick Verreos: RUNWAY REPORT.....Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week: Jean Paul Gaultier Couture A/W 2013

Purrrrrr: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014

This past week, during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week, Jean Paul Gaultier showed his Haute Couture collection: It was all about Cat Women, big lady cats, to be precise: lionesses, tigresses, cougars, all of it. Here's a taste:

Lady Cougars: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2013/2014

The Look: Cougar Couture. Lots of animal prints--from a leopard-spotted biker jacket to a FAB "cat Woman" coat of feathers. There were gorgeous leathers and perfect tailored suitings. Gaultier ventured into Claude Montana/Thierry Mugler zone with some puffy exaggerated rounded shoulder jackets that screamed late 80's/early 90's and yet still, seemed perfect for now, or at least if you were Lady Gaga. Now, speaking of divas, Nabilla Benattia--a model(and I use the term loosely) and French Reality TV show personality of Algerian origin--almost ended the show (she came before the bride) in a bustier gown that, well, the word bustier should have her face next to it, in the dictionary. Don't miss the runway video at the end of this post.
