In what was one of his very best couture collections–and the first since announcing his stepping down as creative director at Hermès–Jean Paul Gaultier channeled his home turf of Paris for inspiration, capturing the essence of French tradition and couture style (note the Eiffel Tower outlined on the back of fishnet stockings on one model).

Right off the bat there were two key silhouettes: the first was one Gaultier dubbed “manta ray,” or a bat-wing-like shape made into a trenchcoat, soigné evening gowns and cardigans. The second, and you couldn’t miss this one, focused on oversized, power shoulders. Dita Von Teese, meanwhile, emerged mid-show to formally unveil one look from Gaultier’s forthcoming new high-end lingerie line with La Perla.
