Gaultier and Mikli Show-off
Chance meetings are a natural occurrence when people run with the same crowds. Jean-Paul Gaultier does the costumes for movies by Peter Greenaway, Pedro Almodovar, Luc Besson, Jean Jeunet, and he also corsets Madonna’s body. Alain Mikli accessorizes fashion shows for Chantal Thomass, Donna Karan, Sonia Rykiel, Jil Sander, Claude Montana, Anne-Marie Berretta. Together, they’ve launched the Show-off collection.
“If you don’t have the physique of a model, you can still wear models’ glasses”, Mikli stated in a slogan which has since become iconic. For one and all – the everyday models and celebrities – 20 models emerge from this collection. Twelve ophthalmic styles and eight sunglasses shaded in three colours, to see as well as to be seen, with comfort. Multi-sided spectacles align with exotic accessories and edgy styles revealing, for example, striped temples and lace covered fronts. Chic, shock, and timeless all at once.
