Jean Paul Gautier Eats a Hamburger

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 11, 2006 at 11:42 AM

What follows is from a New York magazine Q&A with fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier, who made a rare appearance on these shores last week. Mr. Gaultier is perhaps best known (as least in my mind) as the creator of Madonna's cone-shaped bra [scroll down to third photo] for her 1990 "Blonde Ambition" tour.

What do you want to do while you're here?
I want to eat a hamburger first. A real big, good hamburger. I want to go to a vintage shop for clothes. I want to walk in Soho to see galleries. I want to see movies. I want to see the one with Andr� 3000 of OutKast. And I want to see The Devil Wears Prada. And I want to see a musical. Which one do you recommend? It must be visually nice—dazzling design, nice choreography.

Anyone know if and where Mr. Gaultier dined on l'hamburger?

Postscript: On Friday Gaultier woke up, went vintage shopping in the East Village and Soho, visited Commes de Garçon and Balenciaga, ate a burger at the Soho Grand, finally finished off the night with a double-header of Idlewild and The Devil Wears Prada. He is a man of his word.
