From the moment the models hit the runway with towering beehive wigs and bold cat-eye makeup, it was clear this was an ode to Amy’s unforgettable look.

The collection was full of 1950s-inspired silhouettes, tiny waists, and pencil skirts—a nod to Amy’s love for retro glamour. Gaultier’s genius turned even casual pieces into couture, like a Fred Perry-inspired polo shirt transformed into a sleek, button-back dress. He added his signature touch with luxurious fabrics, bold colors, and intricate details. Standout pieces included a corset-backed silk parka lined with pink sequins and a baseball jacket reimagined as a red-and-white leather hourglass design.

Throughout the show, an a cappella quartet performed Amy’s hits like “Rehab,” adding a nostalgic, soulful vibe. The finale featured models in black veils, a poignant reminder of Amy’s untimely passing. Gaultier described the collection as a celebration of her as a fashion icon, capturing her fearless, vibrant spirit. It was a bittersweet but stunning showcase, blending Gaultier’s audacious creativity with Amy’s one-of-a-kind style.
