After spending my birthday submitting my personal philosophy essay, I decided to spend my birthday weekend visiting the much talked about
Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition at the Barbican.
What I really loved about the exhibition, was like the
Paul Smith exhibition, you where able to take photographs and videos of everything (I had a very dead battery after two hours!). You could also get up very close to the garments and try and work out how they were constructed. Also the size of the exhibition was huge, so I think there is something for everyone really - definitely a must-see!
Although Gaultier's garments can sometime be a bit outlandish to me, I admire his use of historical and cultural references throughout his collections. He also has a strong emphasis on craft. His use of muses also drew parallels with my own experience during the
Diversity Now! competition.
