I was a little too 'snap happy' at the
Jean Paul Gaultier exhibit at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, so I have decided to divide this into two parts. It was the perfect opportunity to practice my photography skills and capture fashion on
still models, so I have over a hundred photos.
Already having seen the Alexander Mcqueen exhibit at the MET, I felt a bit spoiled. I was incredibly impressed with the thoughtful presentation from Mcqueen's exhibit and the high caliber of work, I wondered how JPG's exhibit could push the bar.
Well, it did and it didn't.
First of all, JPG is not my favorite designer, but I had to see his work because of his influence on fashion and his contribution to many iconic looks (ie. Maddona's cone bra). I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation of the talking mannequins and the rotating models which brought some humor and life to the clothes, but I I also found JGP's interpretation of themes just too literal. His workmanship is no doubt extraordinarily detailed and impressive to see up close, but somehow, it lacks the beauty of refinement.
Overall, I enjoyed the exhibit and it definitely is a must-see if you are in Montreal. I walked away feeling inspired and amazed. Stay tuned for Part two.

Like you, JPG is not one of my favourite designers, but he's one of the only houses still showing couture, so there is no doubting his influence, even without the Madonna factor!
