Evolution of the cool eyewear.
(The top image is from a 2010 TED talk, but the thin rectangular glasses had their coolness peak in 2006.)
Gaultier partnered with the Montreal-based theater company Ubu Compagnie de Création in the design of 30 animated mannequins who talk and sing in playful and poetic vignettes.

The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Sidewalk to the Catwalk | de Young Museum I managed to go by after my class (and finagle a ticket ten minutes after “last ticket issued by” time); the mannequins are actually not animatronic or anything complex: they have flat areas in their mouth and eye areas, in which projectors project moving images of lips and eyes. But very well done nonetheless. The “shocking” clothing part of the exhibit seems like a mild saturday afternoon in some areas of San Francisco. But I can see how it would be shocking, say in Boston. |

Animated mannequins that talk and sing? If there’s time, I’ll try to visit it tomorrow.
