i think that this is true of jean paul gaultier's work. i know that have been friends for a very long time. it is my honor to introduce both suzy menkes, fashion editor of the international herald tribune, and mr. jean paul gaultier. [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

jean-paul russo has never regretted moving from paris. he is proud this is his home. >> i call on young people to come here and relax. you can meet people here who still speak openly, who are open to the world. >> but his two children have chosen to leave. one moved to paris, the other to canada, but they will always have a home on the island. jean-paul and his wife will be there. they have no plans to leave. they are currently in paradise. >> privatization of the missable services is a sensitive topic here in europe. just look at the example of water supplies. in recent months, more than 1.5 million europeans signed a big addition calling for free access to drinking water. that forced lawmakers in brussels to change the draft text regarding the privatization of public utilities. they had to state explicitly that they would not force anyone to sell their water subsidies. some have already outsourced water utilities to private firms, and not everyone has good tales to tell about it. >> she has always been able to take clean tap water for g

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

. >> if she wasn't doing trash, she would be jean-paul. >> her unorthodox use of trash is improving the of thousands around the globe. >> this is an ecobrick. this is the container and this is where you stuff all of the wrappers, all of the plastic bags. everything that is inorganic trash. you just put the lid on top and then you have an ecobrick ready for construction. i'm susanna. i'm the founder of the ecobrick movement. we are here in guatemala in central america and this is called the most beautiful lake on earth. >> picture a vast blue body of water surrounded by three towering volcanoes. >> there's three different myian groups around the lake. cultural elements are still maintained. all have its own unique feel. >> in the '60s this new material plastic came. that was totally new for them. plastic is not a bad material. it helped them a lot but nobody told them, look, this is not going to decompost. this is going to stay here for 20, 30, 50, 100, 500 years. >> the trash problem is affecting these communities in several ways. tourism is a big issue. bacteria blows up in the lake. t

jeans there is over $300. latinos are not going to be able to shop there. please vote against jack spade. >> good evening, i'm paul stole. owner of the piercing studio. my business is 24 years old and located here for the past 19 years. i'm thrilled with the prospect of jack spade coming to my neighborhood. i'm shocking my neighbors but it's true. i don't feel it's a formula retail. the opposition from the jack spade campaign submitted to you a list of sponsors in support of their cause. i'm on it. i never supported it. i don't know how i got on it. please make that correction. now as a small business owner i feel the rise in rent in property value. my landlord allows me a raise in rent every 3 years. if anything, i see very clearly that the presence of a more substantial business and will drastically help my neighborhood. many of this comes from valencia street. the sidewalks literally sparkle and clearly benefit from all the highly polished businesses called the valencia corridor. we call ourselves 16th street b. i have been waiting for the green machine company come back and repair our broken sidewalks. we have

of nation states this jean-louis take nationalism preventing people from carrying out these covert wars i mean i think it's unfortunate that it was left to someone like rand paul to be the only person raising the stuff on the senate floor and he entered into the record a tremendous amount of important information he read into the record accounts from great journalists who covered this issue but what you know where are the democrats on this issue well they're either silent or they're in lockstep with the white house on this policy and you know one thing that i have that many friends of mine have said to me is why do you always talk about american citizens most of my book is about not american citizens is about people that are pakistani or yemeni or rocky i believe out of moral level there should be no difference between the our level of concern about what's happening in these strikes on a legal level there are there are serious issues that that when it comes to american citizens but our media culture if you watch the conventions the republican and democratic conventions or the launch of the bush library or the death of margaret thatcher. it's like you know the
