^^I love how the models acted during his shows. They had fun, they interacted with the audience and each other...they seemed to really have a fun time!
I absolutely LOVE RTW SS 94, I think it's stunning!

A Jean Paul Gaultier Femme black vinyl and dark wine jersey evening dress, late 1980s-early 1990s, labelled, with integral vinyl bustier above a column of wine jersey with pointed panel worn over one shoulder.
Gaultier experimented with rubber and vinyl in his 'Forbidden Gaultier' collection in which he experimented with the world of Barbarella combining the traditional and technological.

Great posts from '95, Spike413..I remember watching Masters Of Style on the Style channel a few years back: it showed a brief snippet of that show, where the model used the hairdryer to inflate the dress..How cool is that!?!
And thanks for the clips, dior_couture..I just found them now on youtube (stylerunner7 has some excellent JPG clips posted there, esp. of his couture shows)..Don't those tattoo shirts look oddly familiar in recent years (Galliano anybody?)..
And thanks to DosViolines as well..While I think a considerable amount of his work from the 80's is rather tacky by todays standards, I wonder how my opinion would've differed if I had actually been old enough to follow fashion back then..
I'm so glad I stumbled upon this thread. I was a big fan in the 80's and have tons of pieces and images from that period. I will be posting old campaigns and editorials once I get them scanned. Keep a look out. Here is a teaser for now.
