There's tons of color. I've never seen anything like it before. Very unique and great idea who ever thought of it. There’s tons of color.

He has succeeded once again by producing an aesthetically pleasing evening dress that catches the viewers attention through exploration of the female form. The dominant, horizontal lines on the backside of the garment lengthen the body as the eye travels up and down. Because the ribbons allow the dress to fasten to the shape of the body, the curves that attract attention and soften an area become apparent and unavoidable. The copious ribbons imply texture without even having to touch the dress. Furthermore, Gaultier utilizes pink silk satin. The color pink has a deeper meaning assigning romance, love, and friendship to the dress, and denoting feminine qualities and passion. Gaultier has brought awareness to the design elements that make art what it is. For this reason he will continue to thrive amongst the masters of design.
