FASHION KING: Jean Paul Gaultier has definitely won couture week.
At the Sidaction gala dinner on Thursday all anyone could talk about was the designer’s final couture show, held on the previous day at the Théâtre du Châtelet.
“I’m still on cloud nine,” said Rossy de Palma about walking the designer’s show.
“His last fashion show was just like his entire career: a real party,” said actress Béatrice Dalle, who also graced the runway for the historical show. Dalle pointed out that the event was a real celebration of French culture, with appearances of cultural icons such as Mylène Farmer and Amanda Lear. “I think French designers should take a leaf out of his book — if you have a French brand, then celebrate France!”
Anna Cleveland didn’t walk the show, but was there to cheer the designer on. “It’s such a beautiful moment to be able to take off the mask and reveal that we are all here to celebrate life,” said the model. “Everything comes to an ending, but it’s worth it. Also, Jean Paul is like a rock star — there is never going to be an end for him.”
