>> The second episode of Coco Rocha's "Insider's Guide to Backstage" has appeared, and this time she ends her sentences with question marks, "pretends" to ask Jean Paul Gaultier questions at her Spring 2009 fitting, because "I'm pretending to know what I'm doing," and lets us in on why models think JPG has the best fittings. As Coco practices her contemporary dance choreography to open the show, JPG giggles his way through the entire video.
Jean Paul Gaultier
Wed, 10/01/08 — 01:50:09 PM
>> THE MODELIZER —Yesterday, Coco Rocha did a little dance at Jean Paul Gaultier — but it wasn't of the Irish dancing persuasion like last time. Think more contemporary — a trio of modern dancers opened the leotard-riddled show and Coco joined them "for a few Martha Graham flourishes" before opening the runway. No video or pictures yet, but I'm still on the lookout. [Style.com]
Jean Paul Gaultier's Fall 2008 Couture Cages Not So Cagey
Thu, 07/03/08 — 12:28:02 PM
>> Jean Paul Gaultier was high energy yesterday at his Fall 2008 Couture show, exuberantly explaining his choice of outfit to Hilary Alexander pre-show, and running through the fluorescent green laser beams that panned the runway post-show, poking Coco Rocha on the way.
For all of JPG's exuberance, I am less than excited about this sci-fi, cage-inspired outing. Underneath all the decoration were a few solid pieces, namely a coral lace-like cage dress worn by Patricia Schmid and a tux suit worn by Sasha Pivovarova, but for the most part, a lot of it ended up looking less than luxe, especially if croc was involved.

Agyness Deyn Snips, Strips for Jean Paul Gaultier
Fri, 06/06/08 — 03:31:19 PM
>> In the commercial for Jean Paul Gaultier's just-launched perfume Ma Dame, Agyness struts up to the camera wearing a long platinum blonde wig, snips the hair all off until she's back to her normal crop, and then proceeds to rip off her shirt sleeves, rip open her shirt, snip off her pant legs, and finish the whole ordeal with a little dance move. All in all, it's a very retro '80s experience, complete with black biker shorts, but one that Agyness brings into today. I consider my 34 seconds well spent.

Fri, 05/30/08 — 01:31:16 PM
>> Jean Paul Gaultier's Spring 2008 couture mermaid dresses are still going strong — almost a month after we chatted about their unlikely success on the red carpet, a new group has popped up in magazine editorials. From Vogue's May 2008 "Daring Do" with Coco Rocha (top left) to Numero's June/July 2008 "Eaux Profondes" (top right) to V's May/June 2008 "In Your Dreams" (bottom), the gowns continue to inspire.
