welcome!
i had the intention to give you an impression of the exhibition of jean paul gaultier in rotterdam, i visited early may. unfortunately, almost all of my photos are of such poor quality that i can not publish them, and besides, it was so crowded that often someone’s hand or head is on the picture instead of the design:)
a few pictures you see below (and for those who are not familiar with it, you can click on the pictures to view them in a larger size).
i’ve searched for links which i think they match with some of the details on the pictures, the patterns are written or diagrams. of course there are many, many other patterns, this is only a small collection, scroll down the page to find the links.
hope you have fun with looking at the photos and the patterns!
have a great week!

Thank you for those links. I’ve been looking for a fine lacy pattern for a cushion.

I saw the Gaultier exhibit when it was here in San Francisco. Anyone interested in my photos can check those out at http://www.crochetconcupiscence.com/2012/06/crochet-at-gaultier-exhibit/ The crocoodile dres above and the knit grey dress are both shown in my post.

Hi Kathryn,
Thank you for visiting and your comment.
Regarding the second dress on this blog post it is not the crocodile dress. That is a beautiful dress too with gorgeous crocheted details, but as a vegetarian I chose not to include photos of it. I am aware that on some pictures many feathers can be seen.
On my post I would like to give attention to the classic crocheted details in the designs of JPG and so I looked for patterns that have – in my opinion – similarities. Anyone who sees the pictures and wants to try to crochet such a detail, can click on a link to find a pattern without much searching.
Thanks again!

Absolutely stunning outfits – thanks so much for sharing the fashion pics! =D

I agree w/ stitchedupmama – these are stunning; I had no idea Gaultier designed outfits w/crochet. This must have been a fabulous show to see in-person! Great blog you have going here.

Wow! That dress is amazing. Thanks for sharing 🙂

Amazing – must have been very interesting to see that exhibition – probably very difficult light to photograph – sorry that you are unhappy with the rest of your pictures… Anette
