DHAKA: The fashion world can be a cruel place. No one knows this better than veteran Jean Paul Gaultier who decided to turn his spring-summer 2014 collection on its head and do the criticising for himself.

With a tongue in his cheek, the irreverent designer turned his catwalk collection, one of Saturday’s most popular tickets, into a high-octane pastiche of So You Think You Can Dance, the US dance competition show.

Rossy de Palma, the muse of filmmaker Pedro Almodovar, sat on a panel inside the cabaret theatre venue holding up signs such as ‘boring’ and ‘no thanks’ to auditioning models such as Karly Kloss who vogued in vain to energising music.
