Sidewalk to Catwalk

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk at the De Young is an incredible exhibit of 140 haute couture and ready-to-wear peices, curated for the most part by the designer himself.  The show has been the talk of the San Francisco art and fashion crowd for months and last night, ArtPoint held a gala in honor of Bastille Day.  Cancan dancers entertained, artists sketched outfits, brie and champagne were served, and everyone toasted to the exhibit.

One of my favorite pieces from the exhibit.

In keeping with Gaultier’s gritty ballerinas and the overall Parisian Chic mood for the evening.  I donned a floor length sequin backless dress, but made the look a bit moody with black leather accoutrements and minimal accessories.
