Rocha's couture outing was a delicious meeting of minds, harnessing Gaultier's spirit through her feminine lens.
She honored JPG codes from Breton stripes to tattoos but brought her signatures like thorns, transparency and Irish crochet.
Delving into the archive, Rocha found Gaultier had used Irish crochet, inspiring her silver-dipped molded dress.
Celebrating the female figure has long run through Rocha's work, seen in bustles, padded underpants and stiffened bodices.
Whimsical accessories like lucite heels with pearls, feather earrings and lace-trimmed gloves completed Rocha's Gaultier vision.
Giant romantic tulle ballgowns were a gorgeous contrast to Rocha's usual cuts but still had her daring spirit.
Rocha won a standing ovation for her characterful, unconventional take on Gaultier's signature sensuality and prowess.
