Jean Paul Gaultier stuns Paris Couture Week with a collection inspired by 'seductive, decadent dandy' Pete Doherty - and androgynous model Andrej Pejic as star of the show

   

The result was a theatrical delight. Androgynous by design and by the virtue of the show's star turn, the so-called 'femi-man' model Andrej Pejic, who strode onto the catwalk wearing a gauzy black top that revealed his chest, it was pure Gaultier.

Nineteenth century top hats accompanied high taffeta collars, deconstructed texture-rich satin crepe waistcoats and a sea of black.

The black was broken up with explosions colour and bright fox fur, which provoked whoops of delight from the crowd.

Gaultier threw in other cinema references for good measure.

'The original idea I thought of doing Fritz Lang's Metropolis,' he said, and indeed, as if straight out of that 1927 science-fiction film, there was a grey metallic looking cape with golden lining. He had clearly done his cinema homework.

The shoulderless jumpsuit which completed the ensemble had the broken sheen of scrubbed metal, like the film's robot Mechanical Maria.

Art deco prints and the odd robotic conical bra only added to the graphic feel, while a projector beamed images onto one model's dress while scenes from old movies flashed behind her.

The piece de resistance came in the form of a science-fiction corset cage, that stood out from the model's body like a mechanised hourglass.

'I'm here because it's lively and provocative,' said movie star Bette Midler from the front row.

And indeed it was.
