Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture FW14

Alabaster skin, bloodshot eyes and scarlet lips. Night falls on the Paris fashion shows.

And it makes a procession of dark creatures: Blair Witch, Blood for Blood, Kill Bill, The Vamp'Pire, Maléfique, some of their names. They are the " elegant vampires in a luxurious jogging suit" by Jean Paul Gaultier.One after another,  perform their Danse Macabre, wrapped in dark cloaks, hooded, with ruffs to frame the faces, encased in tight leather clothes. They are strong, powerful, feminine. Proud, they show fur, lurex jumpsuits, tulle kimono-dress, the impressive transparent skirt decorated with a metal chain and folds in minidress mimicking the striations of the muscles.

Among drapes, casting gold, red and black are hidden codes in typical Gaultier style: accentuated shoulders, pant suits perfectly cut tailoring and craftsmanship. Among all this darkness is opened suddenly a ray of light, a winged figure dressed in white. It 's just a moment. The angel is swallowed by darkness and a black Madonna with a beard arrives on the catwalk, singer and winner of Eurovision Sound Contest Conchita Wurst.

Jean Paul Gaultier bows. And with him Pais too.
