Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Fall 2008


A really intriguing ensemble with a cropped jacket with oversized faggotting and a ruffled top.



Amazing pleating on this coat. See detail below.




Unusual details, such as a metal lapel mesh a la Whiting & Davis, and a really nice mesh scarf with pearls.




A tour de force with bias tubing. Herringbone Battenburg in effect.




I rather like all the little straps with the top showing beneath.



Interesting coat with what looks like another metal mesh for the midriff section.



I love this knitted piece! Shades of the White Queen Through the Looking Glass.



Very Orientale smoking jacket with metal mesh harem pants.
