I bet you've all heard about the
Jean Paul Gaultier and
Coca Cola Light collaboration by now and I must admit that I like this collaboration more that the Karl Lagerfeld one -- Don't worry Mr. Lagerfeld, I still find you a genius in every positive way possible. My first memory of Mr. Gaultier must have been when Madonna wore the famous cone bra / corset - designed by Gaultier, of course - during her Blond Ambition Tour in 1990. I was a tiny one-year-old back then, but the impact of that particular tour (and bra) should not be underestimated. I don't think that there's even one human being walking this surface who doesn't remember that piece of legendary lingerie.
Later on, I got to know Jean Paul Gaultier as one of the 'enfants terribles', shocking the fashion world by using older men, overweight women, over the top tattooed and pierced individuals as his models and as someone who wasn't afraid of playing with traditional gender roles. Aaah, and not to forget his world famous commercials, using amazingly cute (and tattooed, you know I love tattoos) sailor men as the center piece.
Being one of the Coca Cola Light Style Reporters, I had the honor to receive two collector items of the Jean Paul Gaultier for Coca Cola Light collaboration. These babies will definitely get the special place they deserve. Thank you, Coca Cola Light, for this amazing gift and thank you, Mr. Gaultier, for being yourself and for doing what you want in a world that's filled with criticism and narrow mindedness.
Oh yeah, I've also added a major wish list in this post, so just click, click, click below to see what goodies I've bumped into while browsing on the web!
