Jean Paul Gaultier at The Brooklyn Museum Museum

From The Sidewalk to the Catwalk is an eye-popping journey that is altogether superbly curated by fashion icon, Jean Paul Gaultier, and famed curator, Thierry-Maxime Lorio. The exhibition is running at the Brooklyn Museum. Last Friday night, I took a trip to Eastern Parkway to discover this exciting, ground-breaking show, and was also enchanted by the stimulating talk between the designer, and the curator. The conversation was deftly led by Wall Street Journal Magazine editor-in-chief, Kristina O’Neill. Jean Paul Gaultier is well-known for his designing Madonna’s infamous cone bra (he spoke passionately about his muse, and how she has been a constant source of inspiration for his work throughout his early career). The exhibit highlights a master couturier ahead of his game, and a front runner of the Haute Couture world and avant-garde fashion.
