Models walked the catwalk in artfully draped bustier gowns with long flowing skirts cinched at their waists with skinny belts.
The dresses were feather-light and ultra-sheer, but slap on a lining and you'd be ready to go to your next movie premier, gala dinner or black tie soiree.
The fashion world demands audacity and constant change, and many designers attempt to reinvent themselves season after season. But as long as A-list actresses and wealthy women with packed social calendars keep clamoring for his high-glamour gowns, Saab needn't change a thing.
Jean-Paul Gaultier's creations were directly inspired by Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, and the recent Black Swan movie.
As lines of fur and feathered headpieces graced the catwalk, Gaultier's references to the royal bird's opera were far-reaching, encompassing ballet references to the Aronofsky-directed movie, plumage-sporting jackets and elegant, flowing gowns.
But despite an abundance of peacocks and black swans in the avian gala, the designer also plunged spectators into a world of empirical Russian fashion with a series of designs fit for a tzar.
During the show, the designer, who is renowned for his creativity, presented both male and female models in a series of creations that included a particularly interesting trench coat and evening gown hybrid.
