Tears, laughter and surprised exclamations were heard every minute at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet in Paris. Three thousand spectators could feel a concert atmosphere in the air. The one and only Jean-Paul Gaultier could provoke such emotions. He worked especially hard on his last show. On January 17, the designer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7bYe_uINBY\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">claimed<\/a> that he was saying goodbye to Haute Couture Week. He came up with about 200 images and decided to demonstrate them all on the catwalk.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28724\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28724\" style=\"width: 383px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28724\" src=\"https:\/\/hitmedia.su\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/madonna-blond-ambition-tour.jpg\" alt=\"Madonna Blonde Ambition Tour - Japan - April 20th, 1990\" width=\"383\" height=\"486\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28724\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Madonna Blond Ambition Tour &#8211; Japan &#8211; April 20th, 1990<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The guests enjoyed nostalgia throughout the show. There was the creative director of Louis Vuitton, Nicolas Gesqui\u00e8re, in the hall. He began his career with Gaultier as a junior assistant. Gesqui\u00e8re reminded Eva Herzigova, a Czech-Italian\u00a0supermodel and actress, that he once dressed her before the show. Laetitia Casta, a French actress and model, who was also discovered by the maestro in 1994, came to the show in the same jacket she first appeared on the Jean-Paul Gaultier catwalk <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7jLNkkoBSj\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">26 years ago<\/a>. The hall whispered that even anonymous Martin Margiela arrived at the Th\u00e9\u00e2tre du Ch\u00e2telet to say goodbye to the teacher. He assisted Gaultier in the early 1980s.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28725\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28725\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-28725 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/hitmedia.su\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gaultier-hc-ditavonteese.jpg\" alt=\"Dita Von Teese was wearing a dress made of bandage belts during the Jean-Paul Gautier show\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28725\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dita Von Teese was wearing a dress made of bandage belts during the Jean-Paul Gautier show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The performance began with a funeral scene from the 1966 movie\u00a0&#8220;Who are You, Polly Maggoo?&#8221;\u00a0Then people in black carried out a coffin with two cones. This was a reference to the legendary Gaultier cone bra in 1950<sup>th<\/sup> style, which Madonna glorified in 1990 as a part of her <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/WRlQsHq5P6A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blond Ambition<\/a> World Tour. However, it was not a fateful lady in linen who came out, but the girl in a white dress, assembled from a dozen of other white doll dresses. Perhaps Gaultier wanted to say that couture was still alive, contrary to popular belief that this format was outdated. At least during the following hour no one doubted his idea.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28726\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28726\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-28726\" src=\"https:\/\/hitmedia.su\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/gaultier-hc-gigi-hadid2.jpg\" alt=\"Gigi Hadid joined the last Jean-Paul Gautier show\" width=\"680\" height=\"1020\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28726\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gigi Hadid joined the last Jean-Paul Gautier show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Beloved muses of the designer convinced the public of the vitality of haute couture: B\u00e9atrice Dalle in the costume of a vampire smoked right on the stage, Dita Von Teese was wearing a dress made of bandage belts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B7rcigroqTT\/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rossy de Palma<\/a> looked like an eccentric widow.
