Masquerade on the Runway


Jean Paul Gaultier fall 2009 RTWPicture from style.com
So last night I went to see the Phantom of the Opera Broadway show!!! Its my absolute favorite musical ever. I've read the book like 3 times, seen the movie, and listened to the soundtrack like a million times. I've even learned a couple of the songs on the piano. I was so exited when I finally got to see it live, and it was absolutely amazing. The music, the actors, the set, and of course the fashion, were all exquisite. The costumes were so interesting. Lots of sparkle and huge dresses with lots of ruffles. Also, you can't forget the famous Phantom of the Opera himself with his mask. I've been inspired, and I found this picture from one of Jean Paul Gaultier's collections. His fall 2009 RTW collection used a lot of masks. It reminded me of the play because of the darkness to the clothes, the use of lots of black, and the occasional model holding a rose. I loved it!!!
