Today, I was looking back at some of the fashion shows from the 90s, and I stumbled upon some videos of Jean Paul Gaultier’s runway shows. Man, what a trip down memory lane! I decided to dive deep into his work from that era.
Getting Started
First, I opened up my trusty browser and started searching for “Jean Paul Gaultier 90’s runway shows”. I knew I would find a bunch of stuff, but I was particularly interested in the video footage.
Watching the Videos
I clicked on the first video that popped up. It was his Spring/Summer 1994 show. The music started, and the models began strutting down the runway. I was immediately struck by the bold colors and the wild mix of patterns. It was so different from what you see today.
I watched a few more videos, each one more outrageous than the last. I saw everything from cone bras to men in skirts. Gaultier was clearly not afraid to push boundaries.
Digging Deeper
After watching the videos, I wanted to learn more about the inspiration behind these collections. I read a few articles and found out that Gaultier was heavily influenced by street style, punk, and even traditional costumes from around the world. That made a lot of sense, considering how eclectic his designs were.
- Noticed the iconic cone bra made famous by Madonna.
- Observed the gender-bending styles with men in skirts and dresses.
- Felt the energy of the 90s through the vibrant colors and bold patterns.
- Recognized the influence of different cultures in his designs.
Reflecting on the Experience
It was really cool to revisit these iconic shows. Gaultier’s work in the 90s was so groundbreaking and influential. It reminded me that fashion can be a powerful form of self-expression and a way to challenge societal norms. I ended up spending hours down this rabbit hole, and honestly, I don’t regret a single minute of it.
I highly recommend checking out these shows if you’re into fashion or just want to see something totally different. They were a blast from the past!
