The allure of Paris Couture Week always lies in its escapism (for those of us in London looking forward to another big freeze in the next few days, this applies quite literally), but no one took the fash-pack on a bigger journey this season than Jean Paul Gaultier. From the ancient Aztec inspired sculpted metal breastplates contrasted with swathes of flowing cobalt silks to the gilded Mexican sombreros teamed with wide-leg pinstripe trousers, Gaultier showed us South America at its best; this was an exotic aesthetic without the gaudiness, and a truly original show to mark a new decade of fashion.
