Punk Can-Can At Paris Couture
Spring is in the air! This week in Paris, Karl Lagerfeld lit up Chanel, Christian Dior ushered in a return to 1950s glamour, and a “punk CanCan†ruled the runway at Jean Paul Gaultier. During an interview I once did with Gaultier, he regaled me with stories about how, in 19th-century Paris, underwear-less can-can dancers would expertly lift up their skirts to show their “chats” to potential rich patrons in the front row.
