Paris Men’s F/W 08 – GAULTIER

Jean-Paul Gaultier’s collection Fall/Winter 08’ is Dark, really dark, with very little hint of color, when there is colors its done in bold stripes and plaids. Another inspiration from the collection is homage to the english countryside but a darker and more macab. While Gaultier’s number of leather pieces in the collection is very minimal his use of leather detailing is successfully rampant. The collection as a whole embraced black and dark shades of blue, burgundy and brown but he kept the color strict and confined in striped and plaid fabrics. One of the big misses from the collection was the pinstripe gangster style suits. But when it came to trends Gaultier really keeps to his guns and really only embraced the fur trend. The must have pieces from the collection are the short-sleeve dress shirts or the leather trimmed an detailed pants.
