Historical Artistic Style: Gothic

Gaultier relies heavily on Gothic references for his Fall 09 Collection.  Many of his outfits mix tight fitting garments like the corset layered overtop of more loose garments like this brown wool coat.  The black satin and organza dress's areas of opacity and transparency mirror the light and shadow that is captured in Gothic Cathedrals. The color palette of dark tones is inspired by the opacity of the stained glass windows.
