Merging fashion, art, music, cinema and pop culture — that’s the amazing designs of fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier, here seen at a major exhibit of his work at San Francisco’s DeYoung Museum in May 2012.

Fabulous interpretation – the mix of art and fashion was, I presume, also mixed in with music during the actual show? Very cool imagery. Thanks!
oh, of course, and one room was wall to wall video screens showing clips from the films and videos he’s dressed. Also, notice how the mannequins in the top and bottom shots have faces. Projectors mounted into the ceiling projected faces onto many of the mannequins, so they looked like they were talking, smiling, crying, singing. Speakers inside of them gave them voices, most in French. It was pretty amazing.
Artsy fartsy indeed!
hey myra … VERY artsy fartsy!
I love the art merge with fashion; beautiful!
Yes, it was a really great show. It ends this weekend, so I’m glad I got a chance to see it.
Excellent shots… I love fashion art photos.
Me too … and I was amazed that they actually allowed photography in the exhibit. I’ve found that most museums can be militant about photography, so I was really happy to be able to take shots with being sneaky about it.
That is awesome! Lucky you. I’ve had to be swift with my photos at every fashion exhibit I’ve attended because of the militancy… The photos I got were worth the memory but not the headache.
I so get it. 
And the DeYoung is usually really militant about picture taking in their galleries. Oddly enough, my friend was thrown out of the exhibit shortly after it opened for taking video on his cell phone. So apparently photographs are OK, but video is not. Weird.
Yeah… pretty weird!
