>> Jean Paul Gaultier is quick to defend John Galliano: "I know John a little and I must say that what he does for his work shows he is not a racist . . . When you see the video, you can see it is someone teasing him . . . John is very talented. He has done some beautiful things for Dior. I think it is completely sad that he doesn't have his own label anymore. I think it's bad." His feelings for Anna Wintour, however, seem quite different — he says he didn't care for The Devil Wears Prada because "Anna Wintour is a lot more monstrous than she is described!" And when asked whether Wintour is a positive figure, he simply replied, "She is a figure." [Independent UK]

Hermes Wanted Helmut Lang to Replace Jean Paul Gaultier

>> Helmut Lang seems pretty set about not coming back to fashion — he recently shredded the remains of his archives for an art exhibition — but that doesn't mean he isn't still being pursued. Apparently, after Jean Paul Gaultier decided to leave Hermes in May 2010, Lang was the firm favorite to replace Gaultier as Hermes creative director, W reports. But: When Hermes courted Lang, he refused — he wanted to continue his newfound career as an artist instead of returning to fashion — and the job instead went to Christophe Lemaire.

While Hermes womenswear contributes less than 10 percent of the brand's annual turnover, it does have a symbolic significance in the media and how the brand is viewed. And speaking of views, another Hermes family member has spoken out about Bernard Arnault and the threat of an LVMH takeover. Pierre-Alexis Dumas, the company's group artistic director, tells W: “Hermes has grown out of a family culture with a set of values that we all believe in. I am convinced it would disappear if the family dimension was taken away or diluted. You know, there have been a lot of very good, small restaurants in Paris that have been bought by big chains over the years, usually in the name of better management. But somehow their clients have stopped going, because they have lost their souls ... This whole situation has been an incentive to work even harder. I have told everybody, ‘Listen, guys — it’s time to be more Hermes than ever.’”

>> Jean Paul Gaultier will offer swimwear alongside his second lingerie collection for La Perla, available in January for Spring 2012. Presented during last week's couture shows in Paris, the new collection features a wearable — and sexy — assortment of bandeau bikinis, bondage-inspired one-pieces, and cut-out tank suits. A pool-ready palette of pale turquoise, sand, orange, and black gets a dose of JPG's trademark femme-fatale fierceness via lattice detailing, draped necklines, and sheer panels, while side-laced mini skirts and draped-back halter dresses make appearances in the form of cover-ups.

>> After seeing Black Swan a few months ago, Jean Paul Gaultier decided to give his label the ballet treatment for Fall 2011 couture. Hence, tutu-like peplums on jackets, toe shoe-inspired heels, and a prevalence of black feathers (in a nod to the Darren Aronofsky's aforementioned film). Gaultier didn't leave his punkish roots behind, however, giving his signature Breton stripes the mink treatment, turning trenchcoats into evening dresses, and casting Eve Salvail, the '90s model with the bald, tattooed head, who hasn't set foot on a runway in 15 years. French pop icon Mylene Farmer closed out the show — which included a ski sweater composed entirely of exotic feathers — as bride.

Met Gala: Karolina Kurkova

It's hard to not look gorgeous when you're a supermodel like Karolina, and tonight was no exception. Opting for a Jean Paul Gaultier dress, Karolina simply beamed in black and white. We love the lace-like detail at the shoulders and skirt, as well as her complementary makeup choices — I spy both black and white on her eyelids. A strong red lip finishes it off. What do you think of Karolina's Met Gala look?Vote on all of our Met Gala polls here!
