Jean Paul Gaultier - Paris Fashion Week Fall 2009

This menswear-in-name-only show burst with an energy, cheekiness and joy capable of sweeping away even the densest clouds of financial gloom and doom.

Men, women and children of all ages, sizes, shapes and colors skipped down the catwalk in extra-large Afro wigs and zippy zoot suits.

Straps that looked like suspenders confused about their mission in life sprouted out of trouser legs, cinching tight around the models' ankles. Others fastened snugly around the torso like parachuters' harnesses.

The children, who ranged in age from wide-eyed toddlers to skulking teens, were dressed just like the adults, some of them in snappy three-piece suits and tophats.

It was the first time Gaultier — who has mellowed since the 1990s, when he forged his reputation as the wild child of French fashion — presented a children's line, under the title Gaultier Junior.

Korean Actress - Park Jin Hee

I was so disappointed when I see her wearing an ugly red checkered dress when she attended a press conference on her newest film "Lost and Found". I was a fan turning to breakdown because of this fashion sense of her this past few months. On the first picture, she wears a nice and sexy silver mini dress compare to the second picture which dominates the first one that may win the Worse dresser for 2009.
