Jean Paul Gaultier's signature theatricality was a refreshing counterpoint to the pared-down "modernity" of Raf Simons's Dior debut this Couture Week. Although Gaultier's designs can sometimes err on the wackier side, this season's couture collection was lush and striking — with swirling gold silk; majestic, fur-trimmed velvet; and neon-yellow beading — in all the ways that couture should be. While Simons's garments were hailed by WWD for their "glorious reality," Gaultier's were pure fantasy: He sent Lindsey Wixson down the runway in a completely sheer black robe, her nipples and crotch covered only by patches of black floral embroidery, and Karlie Kloss swooped out in a rich gold cloak.
