Any Gaultier fan already knows the obvious reply to this statement. It’s what ran through our mind when we first got wind that Mr JPG was doing a line for Target. How can you make a quality Gaultier piece for $19.99? That was followed by, OMG I can get a Gaultier piece for $19.99.

Well folks, you get what you pay for. Sizing was a bit askew – some graded too large, with others too small, which may cause a ripple in online returns. The multi-pink/blue button up dress (pictured below) buttoned a little off-center with the armholes on the small side, making for an awkward fit.

The pink slip dress however, PERFECT fit. LOVE it!

We are one of Gaultier’s biggest fans and can’t rave enough about the fact he did an affordable line. One question…where were my fellow NYC-Gaultier-lovers?

At 7:30am last Sunday when the line debuted, my friend & I were the only lonely souls waiting to stampede Target’s doors for their 8am opening. With only one Gaultier shop in North America (at the Wynn hotel in Vegas), we expected a small trickle of sunglass clad, coffee toting fashion fans who also set their alarms on a Sunday. I’m not complaining though – we had a blast rummaging through all the racks with time to make our perfect selections.

Long before the Ed Hardy tattoo print, there was the signature Gaultier print and you better believe we scooped up those items. The bikini, mesh long sleeve top and mesh full length leggings (wearing as we type away) are now part of our wardrobe. And that bikini may be what inspires us to attempt a bikini-bod far into the future. It’s the best swimsuit EVAH! No need to ever by another (we think).

Happy Friday!

Dior 1Galliano never disappoints. When everything he touches seems to be inspired by theater, Dior is the go-to designer when sneeking a peek at the Paris Couture shows this week. In full JG form, the line blends an Equestrian look with whips, tulle and jewels – and it works. Of course it works. It’s John Galliano for Dior at the Paris Couture shows.

And one of our all-time faves…Mr. JPG, we heart you. Plan to see Mexican-inspired prints and bags filter through commercially after the Gaultier show yesterday. Models balanced the largest of sombreros while gliding down the catwalk to mariachi music.
