#jean paul gaultier tribute

[bebemoon]

"You could read them—see into the Rocha-isms—all over the place, from the up-turned ruby satin tips of the breast-pieces she devised (“like rose thorns!” she laughed) to her transparent pannier dresses and all the Gaultier-saluting old-school pink cross-laced satin corsetry. She delighted in paying tribute to Gaultier classics, turning his Breton stripes into a t-shirt made entirely of ribbons and bows, and reapplying the seeing-eye and serpent iconography of his famed tattoo collection.

[...]Rocha does a top-to-toe look with aplomb and a lot of wit. Her lucite heels sprouted pearls and feathers, there were earrings in the shapes of dangling garter belts, ribbons, and cow-parsley blooms. Expressing and celebrating female physicality in all its fecundity and uncontrollability has long obsessed her. Her padded underpants—stuffed to create bustle-like protuberances—were eye-turningly unconventional.

But she also let herself loose on the idea of the grand haute couture ballgown—huge, frankly romantic-ballerina shapes made from dozens layers of tulle. It was a gorgeous, characterful performance that won her rapturous applause—and a giant hug from Monsieur Gaultier himself."

Sometimes...

Jungkook remind me of another very famous Asian artist, Leslie Cheung.

Leslie was a very famous actor and singer. He remains one of the most celebrated artists in China, 19 years after his death. He was also openly bi.

His film "Happy Together" is one of the earliest films in Asia to deal with a gay relationship.

Jungkook doesnt really resemble him physically but I do think their appeal/aura kinda similar?

Like they both have/had a very soft, yet powerful masculine appeal. Their masculinity is not threatening yet very palpable and inciting instead of repelling. Dunno how to describe this any other way.

Also both are Virgos lmao.

Leslie Cheung in his own words

So sorry, I took so long to respond to this but I don't get many messages like this and I wanted to take time replying and try to do justice to what you are saying here. I have been reading more about Leslie Cheung his life and his legacy and in so doing I begin to see where the comparisons you make to Jungkook come from.

Leslie Cheung (1956 - 2003)

“I believe that a good actor would be androgynous, and ever changing”

I remember Leslie Cheung for his performance in the 1993 film Farewell My Concubine. The film won the Palm D'Or at Cannes as well as awards for Best Foreign Language Film at the BAFTAs and the Golden Globes. He plays Cheng Dieyi, a Peking opera singer, abandoned and abused as a child and trained to sing the opera's female roles. The film focuses on his tumultuous lifelong relationship with fellow opera singer Duan Xiaolou and Xiaolou's wife Juxian. It is set against the massive societal upheaval in China in the early 20th century. It's a heartbreaking performance which reminds us of the fragility of love and friendship and the lasting effects betrayal can have upon us all.

"Leslie Cheung gives the performance of his career" Time

What I didn't know when I saw the film, was anything more about his life. His singing career, his huge celebrity in Asia and the fact that he was an openly bisexual man at a time where globally, attitudes towards homosexuality were at their most negative.

"Your love belongs to you and you alone.....as long as you are happy and, harm no one, do not be bothered by idle chatter."

I also wasn't aware of the role he played in shaping LGBT representation in Hong Kong cinema and the lasting impact that this has had on subsequent queer films and filmmakers which is perhaps best embodied by the 1997 film Happy Together which you mention.

"The theme of my performance is this: The most important thing in life, apart from love, is to appreciate your own self"

He was determined to be true to himself in a world that was not yet ready for such honesty. His 2000, Passion tour included eight costumes designed by Jean Paul Gaultier which blurred gender lines. Although the tour was very successful, there was a backlash at home which affected him deeply.

"I hope you'll forever remember me, because I will forever remember your cheers and applause."

2023 is the 20th anniversary of his death and it is a testament to his legacy that every year people still visit the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Hong Kong to pay tribute.

There was a commemorative concert in April and the Miss You Much Leslie exhibition is being held at the Hong Kong Heritage Museum until October 2023. Leslie Cheung continues to garner new fans as his films and his music reach new younger audiences.

This GQ article from last year tries to capture how Leslie Cheung continues to influence the next generation of artists.

Leslie naturally possessed both feminine and masculine [qualities]—not to mention an enigmatic mystique that was just so unique I think no other star has come remotely close to having,” the trans Filipina filmmaker Isabel Sandoval told me. “I think he's the closest we've come to a modern-day Garbo in his sexual ambiguity.”

Jungkook definitely shares that characteristic of tantalizingly blending feminine and masculine qualities to create a unique presence which cannot be ignored.

"Great style is wearing anything you like, regardless of gender"

He is known for rejecting traditional gendered fashion and his support for LBGTQ friendly brands.

On stage he is mesmerizing.....

...and off stage he is grateful and giving with his fans.

"Whenever ARMYs miss us, you can come to us. If you have to go or if you want to go, it’s okay for you to leave us. But always remember, I will always be here."

Although, Jungkook has never and may never talk about his sexuality, I do believe that every day he is trying to be true to himself, show us who he is and live an as authentic life as is possible. He is an icon for this century just as Leslie Cheung was an icon for the last one.

Exhibition Jean Paul Gaultier From A to Z - France Pavilion Expo2020 in Dubai 2022. Features unpublished and iconic images by some of the greatest contemporary fashion photographers and artists By acclaimed fashion writer and curator Thierry-Maxime Loriot. Jean Paul Gaultier From A to Z is a dazzling review of more than five decades of the ‘enfant terrible’ of French fashion. Through iconic pieces such as Madonna’s corsets and Kylie Minogue’s stage costumes, the Gaultier wardrobe is displayed from A to Z, examining its singular aesthetic from all angles while exploring its different influences: from cinema to dance, from Frida Kahlo to sailors. Presenting avant-garde fashion imbued with humanism, Gaultier challenged, reinterpreted and transgressed not only the codes of haute couture and ready-to-wear, but also – with humour – those of our society, creating an inclusive fashion accompanied by a social message made of pluralistic beauties. The street, one of the main inspirations for his prophetic vision of society celebrating diversity and difference, is for him a universe where interbreeding and multiculturalism, androgyny and metamorphoses, women of power and men-objects cross, inspiring the unique creations through the exceptional know-how of the haute couture workshops of his Maison de couture. Whether it is cinema or men wearing skirts, punks or Parisiennes, animals or nature, the sources of inspiration are endless and inexhaustible. Jean Paul Gaultier From A to Z is both a timely tribute to – as well as an essential review of – one of fashion’s truly greats.

A fan-fic tribute to the Fifth Element and the incredible world building of director, Luc Besson and iconic costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier 🧡👾🛸

I wanted to capture the more mundane moments off-world party girls from the Fifth Element universe, hanging out in low grav, half ready, just texting the girls 💅

The look features the bandage body suit made iconic by Milla Jovovich as Leeloo, styled with a raglan puff sleeve cut-away top and hot pink windowpane striped socks.

I gave myself a little more leeway with worflow, and created the fit with 0 gravity CLO and rendered the scene in #dazstudio

Anish Kapoor, Rick Owens, and Yoko Ono have all left their signatures on tablecloths at Vienna’s famed Hotel Sacher.

Almost two centuries later, the rule has in fact remained unchanged. From Harry Belafonte, Rue McClanahan, and Annie Leibowitz to David Copperfield, Anthony Hopkins, and Jean Paul Gaultier, hundreds of luminaries have signed on the cloth in a green, red, blue, or black marker. Diego Maradona has a note, and so do Karel Appel, Valentino, Hillary Clinton, Kate Moss, and Rick Owens. “It is a unique form of documentation, different than a typical notebook,” explains Winkler. 

Once a cloth reaches its full capacity to hold autographs, the fabric makes its way to an embroider to monumentalize each scribble in thread. The tradition has currently celebrated its sixth tablecloth which was christened by George Clooney and Christine Baranski. The walls that lead to the hotel’s green-colored Grüne Bar exhibit three cloths for the sharp eye: there is a note from Sophia Loren, not far from one by Emma Stone, while Tony Bennett’s signature rests on the same surface with that of Marianne Faithfull’s. The corners are prime estate, but do fancy the joy of scanning each threaded seal in italic.

The origin of the ritual dates back to Anna’s early years in charge when she was a friend of Katharina Schratt, a stage actress and the girlfriend of the emperor Franz Joseph I. The ruler then was believed to have never stayed at the hotel, so Schratt instead gave a handkerchief signed by her lover as a tribute to her friend. Anna waited little to have it stitched onto a tablecloth with a little crown over the handwriting.

Lourdes Leon Paid Homage to Madonna in a Red Cone Bra Gown

Lourdes Leon just paid tribute to the ultimate material girl. At the 2023 Grammy Awards, the 26-year-old model stepped out in a cherry-red Area gown featuring a cone bra bustier top completely covered in rhinestones. The pointed cups harkened back to the legendary Jean Paul Gaultier cone bra first worn by Leon’s mother, Madonna, back in the ’90s. The garment was initially designed as part of her…

Eva Marcille looking gorgeous per usual. When she walks you can see her flesh coloured panties, but what’s a wardrobe malfunction between a friends?

Andra Day who won for Best Actress tonight.

- People questioned whether or not BET would neuter Lil Nas X in order to not offend people, so it looks like a compromise was met - no devil imagery, but we’re taking it back to an homage to Michael Jackson’s “Remember the Times”. 

I loved how Lil Nas X was hyped during the DMX tribute still in her performance garb.

The sewing machine as a lifeline

By Maya Freitas

Sami Nouri is humble, determined, and successful. From Afghanistan to the Fashion Week, this 26-year-old refugee is now nicknamed "the little prince of fashion".

Abandoned at the age of 14 by a smuggler in the city of Tours, the young Sami Nouri has lived from home to home, from family to family but does not keep bad memories of his childhood. On the contrary, the latter will be forever grateful for the benevolent help he has always received.

A course with spectacular looks A spectacular course

Trained at the school of the Chambre Syndicale de la Couture Parisienne (ECSCP), the young Franco-Afghan is quickly propelled to recognized couturiers. It was at the British stylist John Galiano that Sami Nouri began the creative stage; a universe that would allow him to be subsequently spotted by the unmissable Jean Paul Gaultier. The young designer often talks about Jean Paul Gaultier's confidence in him. The young designer often talks about the trust/confidence Jean Paul Gaultier had in him.

Learning the language and alphabet is essential to obtaining a diploma, Sami Nouri is aware. Sami Nouri is aware that learning the language and the alphabet is essential to obtain a diploma. When he arrived in France, he knew nothing except sewing, passed down from his father. But his dream of being able to go to school makes him a student, certainly struggling with history and general culture, but with the sole objective: to obtain his professional certificate diploma. "If I fail my exam, I will retake it as many times as I need to get it, as many times as it takes to pass. In Europe, diplomas count almost more than know-how. »

A brand, an illustration of its values and history

Sami Nouri will never forget how much fashion has been of great help in his many struggles. For this purpose, he has only one idea in mind: to make women masters of their dignity. What he wants above all is to enter in symbiosis with them and no longer make women an object enslaved to the desires of men, marketing, photographers ...

Thanks to his perfect mastery and his desire to work, Sami Nouri knew how to be surrounded by the right people such as political figures such as Jean-Pierre Raffarin, or Chadi Sleiman, a great figure of the Parisian bar. A much-needed entourage that allowed him the birth of Sami Nouri Paris in 2017, his own label. The signature of the little prince of fashion stands out thanks to a discreet fragment of barbed wire present in his creations, recalling his passion for freedom. This freedom he found in France, his country of integration to which he wants to pay tribute by creating only made in France products. Sami Nouri Paris respects a condition that its creator will never transgress: a luxury of quality, a quality luxury, accessible to a wide audience because he knows how little rare money can be.

A momentum that is not about to stop

« Patience is a tree whose root is bitter and whose fruits are very sweet. ». Sami Nouri has long been inspired by this Persian proverb since he was born on March 31, 1996, in Afghanistan. Among the many dangers he went through as a child, the young prodigy aims to take his vision and creations beyond borders. As the latter puts it, (which is the perfect illustration): "it is not because we do not have money that we can not succeed in life! ".

The thirst for work that the young creator shelters allows him to be a jack of all trades The young creator's thirst for work allows him to be a jack of all trades. The examples are numerous: his book published by Robert Laffont entitled La machine à coudre retracing his history, the planned release in 2023 or 2024 of the film of his life whose script is co-written (Franco-American production) or his contribution during the exhibition on François Boucher (painter of Louis XV and favorite of Madame de Pompadour) at the Museum of Fine Arts in Tours, scheduled for early November.

Sami Nouri knows that he will not succeed in changing a country such as Afghanistan, but he intends to put women at the heart of his messages and to restore her greatness and freedom.

Another fan-fic tribute to the Fifth Element and the incredible world building of director, Luc Besson and iconic costume design by Jean Paul Gaultier.

Capturing the mundane moments of the Fifth Element universe - freshly disembarked from the Foulstan Paradise, out for some drinks, still wearing the iconic metallic neoprene hostess uniform 💅🏾💙👾

If you see the billboard and don't immediatley hear Rudy Rhod (Chris Tucker) high pitch squeeling - you need to rewatch the film!

Created in #clo3d and rendered the scene in #dazstudio

I always struggle to recreate perfect fabric textures in daz iray, it's always close but not quite. But I am loving the non-binary #genesis9 figures - so much easier and intuitive to create NB, gender diverse and ambigous models.

I'm going to make one more Fifth Element look - leaning heavily towards Leeloo's disco gold leggings with neon orange rubber dungaree, but let me know if you have any suggestions!
