Don't just stand there, let's get to it

MANILA, Philippines - In the fashion world, tastemakers are starting to chip away at the early ’90s. If you want proof, look no further than Karl Lagerfeld, who has resurrected those horrible clogs and found a fan in Alexa Chung.

But it’s Jean-Paul Gaultier who seems to be poised for a two-pronged comeback as the bra top becomes spring’s star piece.

The man who invented Madonna’s infamous cone bra relaunched it with a bang in his spring/summer 2010 show in Paris.

It has been nearly 20 years since Lola’s mother wore the infamous satin upholstery for her “Blonde Ambition” tour and, as the Telegraph’s fashion director Hilary Alexander reports, “Gaultier triumphantly reclaimed his territory.”
