The Jean Paul Gaultier fall 2009 Men’s collection included a mixed age range of models, from kids to adults, all of whom sported afros, proving JPG has yet to lose his tact for innovation. The quirky fashion designer not only proved that he was on the cutting edge of pop culture, but also reminded us that we can have fun with fashion, despite most of the world being in economic turmoil. Jean Paul Gaultier’s Fall 2009 men’s show featured peculiar characters like crying toddler and prancing middle aged men. His fashions included male trousers with matching garter belts, beret hats pinned to the sizes of oversized frizz-ball hair, what looked like backward suspenders, and even men in skirts.  In the week of an epochal presidential inauguration, he chose to take on the issue of black and white with a full-on celebration of black power. Gaultier referenced both politics (the Afros and militant stance of Angela Davis and Stokely Carmichael in the sixties) and pop (the sound and style of the Specials and the 2 Tone movement in the late seventies).
