Jean Paul Gaultier still has a taste for fashion’s outer fringes: As curator and visual design director of the subsequent cabaret-style revue at Berlin’s Friedrichstadt-Palast, Gaultier conscripted the alien-looking Canadian couple often known as Fecal Matter, and the Russian performance artist Sasha Frolova, synonymous with latex and abstract forms. “Falling | In Love” is the title for the show, billed as the costliest ever mounted by the state theater owned by the City of Berlin. The production budget was nearly 14 million euros and the show debuts on Sept. 21. The project represents an encore for Gaultier, who had designed around 500 costumes for “The One” revue that opened in 2016, fulfilling a childhood dream. A dressing up design by Jean Paul Gaultier.
