For Fall Winter 2008-09 Jean Paul Gaultier presented a nostalgic collection of dandyism with a twist.

The “enfant terrible” of fashion sent looks down the runway that were not terribly shocking as they were more classically pleasing.

The use of bowler hats and umbrellas as props gave a disarmingly haunting vibe to familiar looks and silhouettes. Gaultier’s narrative of a twisted dandy resonated in looks that weren’t avant garde, but rather surprisingly wearable pieces such as vests and belted coats.

A color palette of mixed browns, blacks and reds added to the dark vibe of the collection.
