Author:Taylor BryantPublish date:Jul 26, 2019Updated onJul 26, 2019There's a point very early on in Jean Paul Gaultier's "Fashion Freak show" when you realize that it's not appropriate for viewers under the age of, let's say, 11. At least, that's how old I'm guessing the little girl in the crowd whose mom I saw cover her eyes while dancers on stage mimed eating each other out.
From there, the cabaret shows which inspired his very first design, come to life on stage. Over the course of two hours , we're taken through the films, music and dance that inspired Gaultier's legendary career; through the carefree days of his youth at Le Palace and in London during its punk era. The show is, by all means, a celebration: of life, of love, of beauty. But it touches on dark times in Gaultier's life as well.
Gaultier isn't challenging convention today quite as much as he used to: He stopped putting out a ready-to-wear collection back in 2014 and part of that, he says, is because he's concerned with the fashion industry's overwhelming consumption.
