Jean Paul Gaultier SS2010 Haute Couture show was filled with leaflike Avatar jungle looking bound garments and accessories. As Gaultier explained it: “I saw the Avatar and, like everyone, found it extraordinary. And from there I began thinking of nature and ecology, and the Latin American tropics; and from there it was not very far to Mexico.” Top image: Metal corset spiral steel boning made to accessories.
