Gaultier’s Dancing Spring – Never one to take runway shows too seriously, Jean Paul Gaultier brought some fun to Paris Fashion Week with a spring 2014 presentation inspired by dance competition shows. Adding a touch of cheek, judges held up signs for models’ dancing skills which criticized with phrases like “No”, “Boring” or “So So”. The collection evoked the classical music “Grease” with leather biker jackets and form-fitting pants as well as hip-hop inspired ensembles with baggy trousers and hooded sweatshirts. Elsewhere in the presentation, Gaultier referenced tango outfits with fringed dresses and skirts while seventies punk was emulated in combat boots and hardware decorated leather.
