Les Classiques, C'est Chic At JPG
6 Jul 2011, 6:16 pm
 Maybe it’s his recent retrospective, but Jean Paul Gaultier is in a backward-looking mood. For his Fall ‘11 Couture show, Gaultier stocked his cast with a few favorites from days gone by. Men and women both stalked the Couture runway (including Jon Kortajarena, the face of JPG’s new men’s fragrance, Kokorico), but it was the returning champs who had the flashbulbs flashing. French pop icon Mylène Farmer took the closing exit, nineties mainstay Erin O’Connor walked the walk, and Gaultier favorite Eve Salvail made her first catwalk appearance in 15 years, shaved head and all. “I quit in 1996 at the peak of my career because I figured if I didn’t leave, fashion might leave me first,” Salvail reported, adding that she has been working as a DJ ever since. “It’s great to be back up there, but the other girls seem so young—and you have no idea how I’m sweating in this dress!”
