Kylie Minogue + Jean-Paul Gaultier

Two of my favourites in one. Delicious pop princess, Kylie Minogue, in a dress from l'enfant terrible Jean-Paul Gaultier. If we had had Pierre et Gilles in the mix we would have touched perfection.

Pierre et Gilles

I think that the duo Pierre et Gilles is brilliant. Pierre Commoy and Gilles Blanchard met in the 1970s and became a couple and working partners. Pierre is the photographer and Gilles is the painter and tthey work together and do this amazing images. They are very stylised and have the feel of religious iconic pictures. They have their own studio, make their own sets and costumes and also use a lot of retouching which makes their subjects look unearthly and saint like. Today they are renowned and have been rewarded for their work. Early on they worked with other artists like Mikado and Marc Almond. Celebrities flock to have their persona transformed and illuminated for prosterity. A few that can be mentioned are Jean-Paul Gaultier, Rupert Everett, Kylie Minouge and Madonna.

Kylie

Kylie Minogue. This pint sized pixie has been a fixture in the limelight for almost as long as I can remember. The pictures of her out there in cyberspace are plentiful and they show that she has changed her look more than once. We are talking about more likely 1001 times. We like stars who reinvent themselves and I truly love a chameleon, and when it comes to this, Kylie takes the cake. She has done her mistakes naturally. Remember her early Stock, Aitken, Waterman period? Yiikes!! On the other hand none of us looked particularily good style wise in the end of the 1980s.

When she turned her back on "the girl next door" look and turned into a sex kitten the style was much better. After leaving SAW she embarked on a musical journey which led to a better credibility, and one of my favourite songs, Confide in Me. In the late 1990s Kylie's carrer slumped but was significantly revitalized in the year 2000 with the single Spinning Around and rocketed even higher with the album "Fever" and the single Can't Get You Out of My Mind which reached number one in 40 countries.

She is an Aussie which doesn't make matters worse since I have always felt that the Australians are very nice people. I suppose I have been a bit partial to the ones from "down under" ever since I lost my virginity to an Aussie.

Miss Minogue has carved herself a prominent niche in history when it comes to both music and style.
