Well, after Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection, which was controversial and fantastic at the same time, Pre-Fall 2012 range looks very demure and unimaginative, though it is not really true. If we look closer we will see plenty of interesting and quite practical pieces to wear in colder seasons.

Accessories in Jean Paul Gaultier Pre-Fall 2012 collection seemed more appealing to me than clothing. Leather gloves (which are a great hit now) came in a variety of colors (black, nude, scarlet red) and lengths (very short and almost elbow-length). Mannish belts, ties, wide chain necklaces – all looked stylish and sexy. Knee-high and ankle boots as well as platformed sneakers were pretty rough in shapes and materials but teamed with garments in men’s style they looked rather harmonious.

Speaking about clothing from Jean Paul Gaultier Pre-Fall 2012 collection I can’t say I was impressed, but considering the fact I love elegant fashion I might not simply understand such designs.

What do you think about Jean Paul Gaultier Pre-Fall 2012 collection?

There are only three designers whose couture work I really admire – Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Jean Paul Gaultier. Two of them no longer create due to the reasons you know, but one still keeps making those fantastic outfits that often leave us breathless. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection was wonderful. Inspired by and dedicated to Amy Winehouse it consisted of pieces which were feminine and colorful in Amy’s style and extravagant and chic in Gaultier’s way.

Models with beehives, beauty spots on their faces and dramatic eye makeup walked down the runway in dresses of the fifties era, tiny corsets and bodysuits, glitzy pencil skirts and simple shirts, stylish suits and sheer tunics.

PVC leggings, blazers which exposed bras and a lot of flesh, and dresses baring backs were showcased along with demure frocks, well-tailored coats and high-waisted pants in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s accessories were amazing. Luxurious veils adorned with embroidery, fringe and lace, wide cuffs in a variety of styles, headwear with huge flowers decorating it, exquisite earrings and cute necklaces, foldover and clutch bags – all made Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012 Haute Couture collection even more complete.

Andrej Pejic has caused quite a lot of controversy promoting a pushup bra. And now comes the news that the androgynous model has landed another interesting deal – a women’s fragrance campaign. Although no names or brands have been announced yet suggestion that it might be Jean Paul Gaultier’s perfume Andrej is to star in has already been made.

By the way, Andrej Pejic (check out Andrej Pejic’s bio and picture gallery) looked stunning walking the runway for Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Show.

A little white dress is a perfect item for warm seasons which explains why so many designers included interesting and fashionable white dresses into their Spring/ Summer 2012 collections. These dresses come in different shades of white, from snowy white to creamy white. And styles vary from simple and straight to girlie and cute, adorned with frills, sequins and finished with asymmetrical hemlines.

Badgley Mischka, Givenchy and Betsey Johnson decorated their little white dresses with peplums. Oscar de la Renta, Moschino and Roccobarocco played with lace and floral print. Louis Vuitton, Jason Wu and Marchesa used feathered elements to make their dresses more beautiful and unusual.

Vionnet and Bebe featured asymmetrical hemlines. Victoria Beckham, Andrew Gn and Jean Paul Gaultier opted for an open shoulder style. And Versace and John Richmond beautified their little white dresses with glittering studs.

Most of little white dresses presented by designers for Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion season come in mini lengths and will be ideal for young girls with slender legs. There are midi versions too, which are more demure but still very sexy.

Some of these little white dresses can make a statement on their own due to unique and eye-catching elements they feature. Others, simpler ones, need to be accessorized to become attention-grabbers. For example, Giambattista Valli dress with fur detail looks impressive without any bracelets, necklaces or bags. But Jason Wu frock with a peter-pan collar should be complemented with a black belt and a tiny clutch for an elegant look.

Of course, these are not all the white dresses from Spring/ Summer 2012 collection but they are the most amazing, in my opinion. Tell me which you like the most and which you think I should add to the list.

Taylor Swift looked stunning at the 2011 Country Music Awards held at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. The star, who was honored Entertainer Of The Year Award, wore a J. Mendel gown and Christian Louboutin shoes to the event. Lorraine Schwartz jewelry finished the look perfectly.

Another country music singer, LeAnn Rimes also attended the 2011 CMA. She looked classy in a glitzy Badgley Mischka dress that she paired with YSL shoes, and a Chanel bag.

Carrie Underwood appeared at the 2011 Country Music Awards rocking a gold dress by Reem Acra. That wasn’t her only dress for the evening. She changed two or three more outfits while hosting the event.

And the last woman who we can mention here was Nicole Kidman, who arrived to the 2011 CMA to support her husband Keith Urban. The couple looked beautiful posing together in front of the cameras. Nicole wore a strapless gown and shoes both by Jean Paul Gaultier.

Jean Paul Gaultier wouldn’t be himself if he presented just an ordinary show. If in past years he used a transsexual model or a plus-size singer to arouse interest of the audience, this time, for Spring/ Summer 2012, he has returned us to the couture shows of the fifties. And I’m not only talking about the designs which reflected fashion of that period. I’m also saying he held the show the way it was held at that time – with no music playing and models walking down the runway carrying cards with numbers on them.

The first thing that catches your eyes in Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/ Summer 2012 collection is the influence of a tattoo-print. It is everywhere: going down the sleeves of dresses, on ankle boots, on stockings, even painted on models’ bodies. From the first sight it looks cool but if you look more carefully you understand that sometimes these tattoos look a bit sloppy and make outfits less feminine.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/ Summer 2012 collection features a lot of beautiful pieces. These include sexy sleeveless trenches, elaborated skirt suits, floral-printed jumpsuits and ensembles paired with white jackets, high-waited trousers with splits on the leg, black-and-white outfits and amazing bloomers (I have never thought I would say bloomers could be amazing!).

Dresses

Fendi Fall 2011

Sixties-inspired dresses varied from full-skirt evening frocks with low decolletage to geometric shift dresses with high necks. Knee legnth and short dresses come in a variety of bold colors and prints. Drop waist and oversize buttons could also be seen on the runways.

How to wear it: Wear a bold shift dress with bright legwear as seen at Fendi Fall 2011 RTW fashion show. Accessories in patent leather and vinyl are both trendy and stylish. Complete the look with chunky bracelets, bold rings, and a headpiece.

Bell Bottoms

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011

Bell bottom pants paired with blouses and long tunics with high necks are also the sixties’ influence. These are great at elongating your figure adding a few inches to your height if paired with high heeled shoes.

How to wear it: Opt for high waist bell bottom trouser for a classy look in a bold hue and complete the look with a chiffon blouse or a high neck tunic. Avoid the latter if you have a short neck.

Outerwear

Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2011

Sixties outerwear included swing coats single and double breasted that could also feature a fur collar and oversize buttons. In Fall 2011 collections you can see plenty of those as well as short plastic rain coats as seen at Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011.

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2011

How to wear it: Wear a swing coat with a knee-length skirt or shift dress. The skirt can be longer than the coat while the dress should be a bit shorter. You can define your waist in a swing coat by adding a flattering belt to it.

Fabrics

Prada Fall 2011

Patent leather and PVC as well as fur and plastic can be found on runway this fall. We have already featured on how to wear fur this season. Leather and PVC can be worn both in clothes and accessories. Take a look at this Prada Fall 2011 cocktail dress entirely covered with plastic discs. Wear it with bold boots and accessories.

Colors & Prints

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2011

Pastels as well as bold hues are equally important for sixties trend. Abstract and geometric mismatched prints, plaid and polka dot could also be seen at Alberta Ferretti’s (above) and Jean Paul Gaultier’s (below) shows.

Jean Paul Gaultier Fall 2011

How to wear it: Go for bold geometric dresses paired with statement boots. Mismatch prints in tops and skirts or pants while wearing one solid piece like a jacket, for instance.

Footwear

Fendi Fall 2011

Stilettos, low-heel sandals, leather boots, and kitten heels can be seen in fall collections. Wear them with bright socks or pantyhose.

Styled by Natalia Alaverdian, Zoe Saldana wears wonderful designer clothing – pieces from recent collections by Gucci, Oscar de la Renta, Dolce & Gabbana, Jean Paul Gaultier, Miu Miu and many others.

The cover of Harper’s Bazaar Russia July/August 2011 is the most attractive. Zoe Saldana’s interesting makeup and white top look great but I don’t like the posture much, it’s a bit unnatural.

As soon as I get the magazine I’ll publish highlights from the interview. Stay with us!
