USHANKA

Ushanka, translation, ear hat.

moi wearing my new ushanka hat which i had longed for so much time, keep me warm.  So I am curious about the history behind this obsession of mine. I'll post more when I finish my research.

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER

For Fall/Winter 2010, Jean Paul Gaultier used different inspirations. From Morocco to Togo, Mexico and India, to Greece, and RUSSIA. An eclectic mixture, using textures, and patterns, fusions of distinct lifestyles and incorporating them into a whole. As if it where a reflection of what is happening to our world with globalization.

Could we get to a point, where the whole world is one entity? Where all cultures are merged to create a multicultural culture? What would it be like? Mr. Gaultier, to me, is giving a little taste of that idea.

In my work, I have as a goal to incorporate details from a wide variety of sources and cultures. I aim for a style of styles.

 

Out of the 55 fall/winter runway looks, these are my favorite.
