JP Gaultier is coming to town!

I had to wait to come all the way to the U.S. to maybe own a JP Gaultier dress! As a teenager, I used to live in France and I always wanted to own one of JP Gaultier’s “mariniere” also called the striped shirt in English…but it was way too expensive for me. Who better than JP Gaultier as a French designer, could design a line for Target at an affordable price? No one or maybe Jean-Charles de Castelbaljac. Anyway, I can’t wait to see the clothes in stores the first week of March!In the meantime, to keep us patient, the look book has been released. After reading a few blogs and articles about the line, it seems like some people are already disappointed. They think that the creations are boring and not so wearable and what may make them change their mind is the qaulity of the fabric. So…let’s wait and see March 7!  As for myself, I already have my eye on a few items so hopefully, they will be worth the price: the leather jackets and the trench coat. One bummer though: no “mariniere”! There’s a striped shirt indeed but not quite  like the one that I dreamed of as a teenager.

J’ai du attendre de vivre aux Etats-Unis pour (peut’etre) devenir l’heureuse proprietaire d’une robe Jean-Paul Gaultier! Adolescente, je vivais en France et j’ai toujours voulu posseder une mariniere JP Gaultier…mais ce n’etait pas vriament dans mes moyens. Qui mieux que Jean-Paul Gaultier, comme createur francais, pouvait creer une ligne pour Target a des prix abordables? Personne ou peut’etre Jean-Charles de Castelbajac. Bref, j’ai plutot hate de decouvrir cette ligne chez Target (Grande surface qui correspond un peu au Monoprix en France) en mars! Pour nous faire patienter, le look book a ete publie dans la presse et aux autres medias. A la lecture de ces derniers, les avis sont plutot partages voire critiques. Certains pensent que les creations sont banales et pas faciles a porter mais une chose est sure,  la qualite des vetements risquent de faire pencher la balance. Y a plus qu’a attendre le 7 mars! Pour ma part, j’ai deja un oeil sur les blousons en cuir et le tench coat a rayures. Une petite deception a remarquer quand meme: pas de mariniere! Il ya bien un tee-shirt a rayures mais rien qui ressemble a LA mariniere emblematique de Gaultier.
