Jean Paul Gaultier Transforms Runway into Dance Competition @ Paris Fashion Week

With a tongue in his cheek, the irreverent designer turned his catwalk collection, one of Saturday's most popular tickets, into a high-octane pastiche of So You Think You Can Dance - the US dance competition show. The collection opened with several looks in black lace, studs and leather with asymmetrical paneling.

Seemingly channeling the movie “Grease,” two models danced like Sandy and Danny on the podium to the sound of “You’re the One That I Want.”

Rossy de Palma, the muse of filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, sat on a panel inside the cabaret theatre venue holding up signs such as "boring" and "no thanks" to auditioning models such as Karlie Kloss who vogued in vain to energising music.

A series of stones colored coats cut a stylish look, one hanging over the torso in circular, diagonal strips as if ripe for the peeling. Elsewhere, an on-trend metallic jacket and baggy pants came in a great burnt bronze, with a complementary dark orange top.
