YOUR WEEKEND PLANS: This Weekend Is Your Last Chance To See Jean Paul Gaultier In Brooklyn

If you haven't gotten out to the Brooklyn Museum yet to see The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk, then by all means, don't waste a minute getting there. The exhibition closes on Sunday, and there are still some tickets left, but they may not be available for long. As in the Alexander McQueen exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum a few seasons ago, this expansive show reveals new depths to Gaultier's work that might not have been appreciated before. Taken all together, those crazy and irreverent outfits that have made him famous show a level of imagination and invention that you might not get from seeing his collections one at a time. If the clothes aren't enough for you , there are drawings, photographs and more TV, movie and video clips featuring his work than you will be able to watch in one visit. Then there is the remarkable exhibition design featuring an automated runway show (pictured), startling sound elements and an ingenious projection scheme that places footage of moving, often speaking or singing faces on many of the mannequins including one of the designer himself. Though the museum couldn't extend the show, they have added two extra hours to see it on Sunday, the final day when it will be open until 8 PM.
Don't miss it.
After the jump, have another look at the video featuring Gaultier and Karlie Kloss made by Stephane Sednaoui for the exhibition
