Here's a video from the show... http://videos.nymag.com/video/Jean-Paul-Gaultier-Fall-Winter

I'm loving the vintage feel to collection (the green outfit is stunning). Couture pieces, in my opinion, always seem to fall on the side of impractical, but I see a lot of wearable items in this collection and shoes that aren't stupid. Dita's corset is brilliant design; a mix of gothic glamour and vintage lingerie, with a futuristic feel to it. I love everything about it!

Ooh, yes. I saw these photos along with a few others, on a Dita Facebook fan page. 'Haute', indeed. =0D

And, Edson, don't question it. Just enjoy the view, lol.

Edson, Haute couture (French for "high sewing" or "high dressmaking") refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. It's custom made pieces for high paying clients and is often more "costume/art" then clothing. The word Couture gets thrown around a lot, but only a select few designers are truly couture. In France, the term haute couture is protected by law, and only designers chosen by the Paris chamber of commerce to be on the couture list can claim it. If you wanna know more.. good ol wiki, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haute_couture

As for the outfit she was wearing, the best part about it for me was the Mr Pearl corset. Good god I'd love to have him make one of those for me!
