In a Word: Spectacular

What do you get when you combine Mexico, Aztecs and Avatar? Why, the Jean Paul Gaultier Couture Spring 2010 Collection, obviously!

Set to mariachi music, the show began with denim and dark suits, but shortly thereafter erupted into a couture color sensation.
“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,” explained Gaultier, this morning.

Cigars, Cowboy boots and coconut-leaved handbags, it was all there in one expertly crafted, ingeniously executed show.
