The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier

I'm off to Montreal this morning to attend tomorrow's press preview of The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. And I'm going even though there is a looming strike at Air Canada and there are a myriad of important events on the schedule for this week.

From what I've read and seen in the advance press materials, the show is going to be spectacular. I was granted interviews with curators Nathalie Bondil and Thierry Maxime Loriot and will be writing an exhibition review for Fashion Projects.

In preparation for my trip, I looked back at posts I wrote about Gaultier in the past (of which there are nine!). I also reread my posts from June 2008 about the Yves Saint Laurent retrospective which also was held at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Back then, I wished that I'd been able to attend the opening for that exhibition and three years later I have just such an invitation in hand....

Will be there too! Can't wait to see what's in store! The parade on July 16 should be just as wild. Montreal is Jean Paul this summer!

That's pretty cool. Gaultier is so amazing and creative, I can't wait to see the results. I hope it's not to stressful and you can enjoy it. Love from London xo

Good luck! Both with the opening, which is brilliantly exciting (but that you don't need) and also that Air Canada don't strike and you can get back for your son's graduation.

Looking forward to hearing all about the world of Gaultier. :)
