At his Autumn/Winter couture show earlier this week, he sent a familiar face out onto the catwalk: that of 51-year-old model Ines de la Fressange.

Something about her exercising feminist ideals...oh, the horrors.... Inès in 1987... Also in the 80s (she's a total Benjamin Button!)... Anyhoo...now she has a family, owns several clothing boutiques in Paris and works as a consultant to ... Read Full Story

>> Jean Paul Gaultier always has a trick up his sleeve for his runway shows — think Coco Rocha’s iconic Irish dancing opener — and this time, it was all about the closer. Ines de la Fressange, 51-year-old French supermodel who in the ’80s became the first model to sign an exclusive modeling contract — hers was with Chanel — finished out the appropriately ’80s-inspired show in a slinky black gown and ivory tuxedo jacket. The audience cheered her the whole way down the runway, and she turned to wave at old friends. Gaultier, for his part, was so excited about her appearance that ... Read Full Story
