Last weekend, to celebrate the end of exams, my family and I had a trip to London. The main aim of the trip was to go to the Jean Paul Gaultier exhibition, which is currently on at the Barbican.
Here is a link to Jean Paul Gaultier talking about the exhibition...

The exhibition was absolutely wonderful and completely exceeded my already high expectations, the range of work was stunning. The exhibition allowed us to follow the thought processes that lead to him creating such daring pieces of fashion, which were each works of art and had been worn by greats such as Madonna and Kate Moss. Every garment was so detailed and well thought out, each and every one had the wow factor and bought us closer to understanding the value of Jean Paul Gaultier's role in the world of fashion.
Certain mannequins around the exhibition had faces projected onto them, these faces moved and on many occasions spoke or sang. The faces were extremely life like and this added to the wonder of the exhibition as it became even more visually stunning. The exhibition is a real experience and I really recommend you visit it!
Visit the Barbican's website here, there is a detailed description of the exhibition and a bit more information about Jean Paul Gaultier, as well as a few pictures of the exhibition itself....
