Jean Paul Gaultier: 1997-2000

[dior_couture1245]

I started this thread for several reasons...

1. I ADORE JPG
2. We have a Christian Dior 1996-2000 thread, so I thought, why not Gaultier (and there is a pre-1997 thread for JPG in the History of Style forum)
3. I just found quite a nice archive of photos of past Gaultier collections on corbis.com

So here are some of the pictures I found.

Haute Couture Spring/ Summer 1998
(how UTTERLY breathtaking is this black piece?)

Oh I always loved Esther at his shows. I have a ton of JPG full pages from 1999 and 2000 collections out of Collezioni and Lecturas and Esther is on the cover of Collezioni for one collection of his, descending a staircase. Thank you for the thread, I'm excited to contribute soon!

I used to LOVE that s/s 99 collection, especially that look on Esther.

I think there was pants underneath the skirt worn with heels.....so romantic.
