The Spring 2011 Haute Couture fashion week hasn't failed to impress worldwide and Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 collection has ensured this designer's pieces won't be easily forgotten.
Having no music, Gaultier introduced his collection through an announcer, naming each piece as to what inspired him, such as "Anarchy in the U.K." and "La Goulue."
Each model sported a multicoloured mohawk for the Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring 2011 catwalk which was paired with his gothic creations of lace and leathers.
Implications - This collection is pretty remarkable. Jean-Paul Gautier has shown a commitment to the avant-garde, and he manages to do so without alienating his wide fan base.
That's how you show skill and earn longevity in this business.
