Jean Paul Gaultier's new Couture presentation, he has a three-decade-plus career retrospective running at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and it is from all accounts a monument to glorious obsession. The retrospection seems to have led to reflection, because this collection cast its eye back over decades of boundary-pushing, taboo-busting innovation in design, from men in skirts to conical bras etc..
Though it's not the first time he's attempted such an overview, this was probably Gaultier's most accomplished one yet. Gender-bending took a turn for the opulent, too. The designer's male dandies were sloe-eyed decadents from a Diaghliev fantasy, in keeping with the ballet theme.
