Friday evening I was at the de Young Museum in Golden Gate park to see The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk.
The museum is on a roll with its exhibits of leading fashion designers. The Vivienne Westwood show was fantastic, and the Balenciaga exhibit last year was even better. And this one is extraordinary, the best so far.
It’s a superb curation and the presentation the work of designer Jean Paul Gaultier, dubbed “fashion’s enfant terrible” is fantastically creative. I’ve never seen anything like it before.
The mounting, the display, the lighting are superbly tuned to the works displayed — the de Young’s staff should be congratulated for their skill in building this exhibit.
