Only the voice of Catherine Deneuve reading the name, number and a brief description of each look could be heard.

The models' multicolored "Mohican" wigs lent a punk feel to the tailored collection.

Ruffles and fishnets evoked the cancan feel of Paris.

Even the most risque pieces in the collection were given a classical look through the careful construction.

Yards of black silk cascaded over delicate white lace in look 32.

A cutout cropped jacket was softened with delicate ruffles along the edge.

A purse in the collection looks more like a medieval torture device.

You would have to look closely to discover, or just be in the know, that the "bride" in the ruffled tulle and feather headdress was gender-bending male model Andrej Pejic.

A cream gown used almost straitjacket-like straps to add interest to the delicate pleats.

A carefully constructed corset could be seen through a floor-length black chiffon jacket.

Look 36, "Stinky Toys," layered a ruby crystal-covered leather jacket over a pleated black evening number.

Called "I Am an Anarchist," look 31 was a single sleeved trench coat dress in shocking pink.

More ruffles, and a little fringe for good measure.

Proving he isn't afraid of color, Gaultier accessorized this sleeveless gown with red leather gloves.

Cabaret dancer Psykko Tico could practically touch her toe to her nose in a white tulle-covered bustier dress lined with photo-printed legs.

Even Gaultier sported a mohawk for his turn on the catwalk.

Model Farida Khelfa, Gaultier's muse, and the designer appear on stage at the end of the show.
