Baby, it was hot outside. And also inside the Jean Paul Gaultier show, where hair drooped and make-up dripped and perennial French actress Catherine Deneuve had to be handed a glass of water to cool down.

But the designer himself had no problem. He was in a la la land of snow and ice; Christmas carols and Courchevel-meets-Val d'Isère was the theme of the show.

There was an evening jacket developed from puffer fabric, a traditional Fair Isle ski sweater – except that it was embroidered rather than knitted. A familiar, all-in-one outfit of the ski slopes was transformed with drapes in gold silk shining like the sun.

Wide shoulders, which Gaultier knew so well in his 1980s heyday, were re-cut: wide and angular for the new millennium. It is the insouciance of his work – the one-shoulder ‘onesie’ impeccably fitted but presented so casually – which marks Gaultier out.

In a show period with a chaotic mix of seasons and of ready-to-wear designers, people have been asking ‘What is haute couture?’ Jean Paul Gaultier, however silly and frivolous he might seem, is the real thing.
