NORTH WEST IS CULTIVATING EXPENSIVE HABITS

Not only does Kim Kardashian manage to get herself and her family invited to the hot ticket Paris Fashion Week designer shows, but she gets them dressed head-to-toe BY the designers. (There was a time when she couldn’t even finagle an invitation!) Jean-Paul Gaultier dressed three generations of Kardashians before they attended his show, and Kim and North are sporting mother/daughter nose rings with chains. North looks VERY happy to be included in the event and is already showing symptoms of fashion addiction and paparazzi appreciation.

Dita Von Teese Jean Paul Gaultier Paris Fashion Week

DITA VON TEESE IS JEAN PAUL GAULTIER’S DREAM GIRL

If ever there was a match made in heaven, it’s burlesque queen (and lingerie designer) Dita Von Teese and designer Jean Paul Gaultier. Remember Gaultier’s sexy, S&M inspired wardrobe for The Fifth Element? Jean Paul invited Dita (who’s only 5’5”) to model in his couture runway show in Paris, and he named the gown she wore after HER. Dita is also appearing this week in Gaultier’s Folies Bergere extravaganza called Fashion Freak Show. It’s hard to believe that Dita is a natural blonde who grew up in California…

Jean Paul Gaultier Naomi Campbell

NAOMI CAMPBELL ON THE CATWALK: NOBODY DOES IT BETTER

Naomi Campbell,44, was the main attraction in the Jean Paul Gaultier show and she didn’t disappoint. Naomi has been on the catwalk for Gaultier since the 90’s and her appearance makes up for a lot of bad behavior. Tempestuous Naomi has a nasty habit of assaulting people with her cell phone or Blackberry. She’s been engaged multiple times (once to U2’s Adam Clayton!) to assorted billionaires, but she has never been married. Maybe that phone habit has something to do with it.

Photo via: Twitter

Designer Jean Paul Gaultier loves to include all types of models in his Paris Fashion Week shows, and plus size Beth Ditto, the lead singer for the indie band Gossip, worked the catwalk in a recent show. Last week he made her dreams come true again because he designed a custom white wedding gown for her. Beth married her longtime assistant-turned-girlfriend Kristin Ogata in an all white Hawaiian rock n’ roll wedding.

The Thalys high speed train in Paris has been decorated with drawings and the trademark sailor stripes of one of our all time favorite designers, Jean Paul Gaultier. We applaud France for finding a stylish way to avoid graffiti!

Diet Coke Jean Paul Gaultier

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER “SEXES UP” DIET COKE

One of our favorite designers for decades, Jean Paul Gaultier is now creative director for a girl’s best friend, Diet Coke, and he created a limited collection of flesh colored bottles that reflect his “night and day” concept: sailor stripes by day and corsets at night. Two models body-painted to look like bottles were set loose on the streets of London to promote the event. The bottles come in a package with a special Coke glass and the set is already featured on eBay for $80 and up. You might want to wait for the third bottle coming out later this year – it will feature his classic tattoos.

Amy Winehouse Fashion Jean Paul Gaultier

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER HASN’T FORGOTTEN AMY WINEHOUSE

You’ve gotta love Jean Paul Gaultier for keeping the image of Amy Winehouse alive. Amy was the inspiration for his latest collection because he loved not only her unique style, but the way she put her clothes together and the colors she mixed. Of course the models sashaying down the runway all had towering beehives and black eyeliner and many were puffing on cigarettes. But no beat-up ballet slippers. It made us miss Amy all over again.

Fashion Jean Paul Gaultier Katy Perry

KATY PERRY TRADED RUSSELL BRAND FOR JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

Katy Perry left Russell Brand’s London apartment looking frazzled because she was in a hurry to catch the train to Paris – she had no intention of missing the Jean Paul Gaultier fashion show that night. When she arrived she got her hair done, slipped into a satin dress, and enjoyed the style extravaganza without a date.

KYLIE MINOGUE'S PERFECT MOMENT

Photo Credit: Splash News

Australian singer Kylie Minogue is not often featured in this column, but this photo is such a perfect combination of cheerful things that we can’t resist. It’s a rare and beautiful sunny day in Paris. Kylie looks fresh faced and filled with anticipation as she dashes, with fringe flying on her boots, into Jean Paul Gaultier’s magnificent shop for some retail therapy. Life doesn’t get much better than this.

IS DITA VON TEESE CHANNELLING JOAN CRAWFORD?

Photo Credit: Splash News

Here are two of our favorite designers backstage at Jean Paul Gaultier’s show in Paris. Jean Paul is still a brilliant innovator and he knows an inspiring female when he sees one. Dita Von Teese, who has her own lingerie line for Wonderbra, is looking VERY Joan Crawford-ish in this photo. It’s those squarish bangs and pronounced eyebrows that remind us of Mildred Pierce. Dita never disappoints.
