There was very much an air of old Hollywood glamour throughout Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall Couture collection - the obvious signs screamed screen siren: the cigarette holders, the scarlet lips, the cinched in waists - whilst sheer fabrics, some recognisable cone breasts and infamous Gaultier lingerie detailing added an edge of seduction.
The show began well, with Karlie Kloss epitomising Parisian chic in a black garbadine trench, it's structure reconfigured with a belted waist and billowing batwing sleeves, and the for the most part the collection continued in all its glamour. At times, however, it seemed to be a little confused - two shearling jackets not dissimilar to those seen on the Burberry catwalk seemed odd in the mix of satins and silks - although the pace picked back up when the Gaultier treated the audience to a surprise strip show from Dita Von Teese, who seductively peeled off her black outfit to reveal a sexy waist-cinching corset, bringing the audience to cheer and applaud as she sauntered off the catwalk.
