Punk vs Cruella Deville

Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture - SS'11

Never one to dissapoint Gaultier shocks this season yet again with a strong punk vibe of mohawks, dog collars, studs, chains, metal pearls and black leather.

Another influence from the collection has to be the iconic bold look of the disney character Cruella Deville from 101 Dalmations. Check out my contrast of a model from the Haute Courture show (left) and Glenn Close in the 1996 adaptation of 101 Dalmations (right).

The Androgyny Issue

Love issue 5 - SS '11
The Androgyny Issue

Love always stun me with their multiple covers, the 3 for the 'This Is Hardcore' totally fit their gender bender issue. One cover features 'femiman' Andrej Pejic sharing a kiss with Kate Moss, a similar shot to that of the SS'11 campaign from Jean Paul Gautier including Andrej with Karolina Kurkova.

The Beautiful One

But this cover is the one that surprised me the most...Justin Bieber.

His feature clearly nothing to do with the theme of the issue androgyny but put as The Beautiful One.

Bieber wont be my pick of this covers but I'm sure lots of my friends will secretly be loving this oddball cover, with him as their guilty pleasure.
