Article·of·Style |Jean Paul Gaultier|

The first high-end sweater I ever tried on was by JPG, and boy, did it convince me that there is something oh so special about $800 cardigans.

I typically would use this space to tell you some interesting information about Gaultier, but I think I am going to let the video for his 1988 dance hit, How To Do That, do the telling for me.

Gaultier is best known for his interest in street wear, he incorporates urban style into his collections as often as he can.  I especially like the collection that the swipes below are from because he somehow manages to showcase fashions from every continent, mixing and matching formally tailored outerwear and suiting with wild, flowing prints, bright and shiny leg wear, and headgear that seems to have been pulled from a grab bag.  I’m sure everyone could find at least one piece that they would wear.

Swipes from JPG’s Fall 2010 Collection:

Love and Enjoy.
