RUNWAY ROULETTE: PARIS PT. 1

    I apologise for the delay, but my computer unfortunately passed and now I am operating on a new and improved 15-inch Macbook Pro. YAY. So, this is the final part of my review of Men's RTW SS 2014. The reason I did Men's is mainly because all of these so-called beauty, fashion, lifestyle, all photos, (need I go on?!?!?!?!) bloggers center their Fashion Week posts on Women's wear... and well, that's bland. I am not bland. Repeat after me: I Am Not Bland. *YOU DID FABULOUSLY* Um, yeah, scroll on now... 

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER MEN'S RTW SS 2014

 Notorious for challenging traditional men’s wear codes, Jean Paul Gaultier merged elegance with ease for spring, splashing a blown-up medallion-tie motif on street-savvy silk separates including a bomber jacket, T-shirt and shorts.

 

These were among the highlights of a collection rich in prints that ranged from a monochrome tile pattern to an exuberant flower design.

 Linen knits — some infused with silver Lurex, others incorporating macramé techniques — heralded a “rustic chic” vibe, but Gaultier did not completely turn his back on the gender-bending experiments that earned him the title of enfant terrible of French fashion.

 A classic black blazer featured a sheer mesh back, while elsewhere, jackets and suits appeared to have been turned inside out, their piping now used to decorative effect.

This is a fabulous collection and if you do not appreciate it as much as I do, then you're not relevant.
