[applause] >> the love seat. [laughter] i just want to know, can you hear me? please shout loudly if you cannot. [laughter] yes or no, you can hear? >> somebody said no. >> mic people, can i be heard? should i start? ok, good. so before i introduced one of the funniest, wittiest, most amusing and funkiest designers that i know, i would like to start with something a little bit more serious. you know, in fashion, the reason that people laughed seem obvious when you see the exhibition of all it's incredible glory and excitement. but at the same time, there were real reasons why designers laughed, and one of them, when it comes to jean paul gaultier, is probably what is talked about least. it is the technique, the skill, the handwork, the knowledge. sometimes it gets buried underneath the fantasies of the close.

so then it was like to make jean paul gaultier for ermez. no, sorry, to make ermez through the eyes of jean paul gaultier. i love that. then there was a death. it was seven years after our collaboration. i think it was good to go in, because my life was not with ermez. it was for my own company. so we changed. we pushed. spanish rudes, perfume routes. sounds very good to my ears. i am a quite truthful person >. >> is there always going to be a controversial side of jean paul gaultier? there was a time when you were inspired by rabbis. i believe you're in new york, there were a bunch of rabbis he saw walking by the public library, you turned it into a collection. you must have known this was dramatic and would be alarming to people. >> i should say that in some way, i think i have a kind of innocence. like that is not that big part of me. when it is beautiful, i believe in it. i saw it was beautiful. i wanted to show it. for me, it was so strong, the impression. it was beautiful. and with a lot of meaning for me. it was meaning for people lik

i was so happy when beth ditto appeared in one of jean paul's collections. she is a terrific woman and quite rotund in size. i have not quite caught up with her yet, but i certainly am no little stick. i personally thinks one of the things he should be admired for is not to bring the tyranny of fashion to women. he has, as he has explained, done a lot for diversity in terms of skintight but also diversity of styles and shapes, and i think that was the reason for a round of applause. [applause] >> there is one diversity also which is important, age. i should explain because you know in fashion, a terrible because there is always racism about age. one of the races and is in fashion which i am absolutely against. how could i be against age when i have a grandmother that let me do anything and what it, gave me optimism and positivity? i think people that are old and have experience, you can learn a lot from them, and there are maybe sometimes more sweet than the grandparents. i think age also is something important. i remember, i wanted to do what a collection o

up on the 30th anniversary of the falkland war, and jeane's role in this is really quite interesting. she, ayou alluded to, had co anxpe on lan ic paul igea. she'd written about argentina, she spoke spanish. she'd written, obviously, about latin america in her dictatorship and double standards artie, and so her vis were somewhat different wthe u. ste pant sg. biou hedow she same to,ou know, she clashed with her own secretary of sta, al hague, and also, by the way, with prime minister thatcher. >> guest: she had, you know, from the begiing of h tur thiouheha very, fractured relationship with hague whom she saw as a sort of one-dimensional, sort of, you know, blowhard, you know, of a man who was overmatched by the position he had. polegedly told somebody, you know, right after she was appointed, he says i'll never be able to work with that bitch. so it was, you you know, this wa relationship that was destined not to work. and she felt, you know, he was ki ntctyui, and the falklands -- falklands situation was one place i think where jeane, you know, was in error. but, you know, her error -- she di't sport trgne ventut s e-otdeod y know?
