Gaultier on choosing Deyn... "I met [Deyn] in 2006, the year I was celebrating the 30th anniversary of my company. I did a retrospective and she wore the first outfit at the show, which was also the first look I did that was really different from what everyone else was doing in 1976: It was a biker jacket like Marlon Brando but with a French flag on the back and studs; a long tutu but with pockets in the back, like a jeans tutu; and tennis shoes. She was ballerina and biker, so feminine and masculine. It was a mix of my sensibility, and I knew she was completely the one to represent it."
