WHAT: Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture Fall/Winter 2017. Jean Paul Gaultier showed his latest Haute Couture collection featuring looks that were inspired by the slopes (see below). The collection featured a "star" model in the form of Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere who was, in case you are new to beauty pageants, "Miss France"...

INSPIRATION: Ski Bunny/Glamazon on the Chairlift. Gaultier--always known for naming his outfits after something rather cheeky, continued this with some of his ensembles named Gstaad the Way It Is, L'Avalanche, What You Looping At, and there was even a nod to RuPaul's Drag Race with an outfit titled Sasha Velours.
