Gaultier Questions III



1. Jean-Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 1993
2. Ann Demeulemeester Spring/Summer 2011

Jean-Paul and Ann. Neither one, nor another. Coincidentally tied together. On their very own, both results explore the concept of revelation. Who has superiorly mastered the principle?

Performance Art









Fencing waistcoat Ann Demeuelemeester

A theoretical construct is brought into theatrical performance. The body in its centre, the garment as the opponent, a dramatic antagonist. Eventually, they find together. I'd like to call this play The Antwerp Collection.

Riposte






Fencing. I'm overzealous about the attitude, the aesthetics, the fashion. Ballet-like movements, athletes in white body-concious suits, wire net protection helmets. It's raw, it's sensual and it creates crispy, mulitplied images of pace in my mind.
