Mouna Ayoub wore this dress to attend the 66th Cannes Annual Film Festival, 19th May, 2013. This collection took as one of its themes the singer/actor Pete Doherty who starred in the movie, "Confession of a Child of the Century," Although the film was poorly received by critics, Jean-Paul Gaultier loved it. After watching a screening he declared, " My god he is so seductive, a decadent dandy - and that's my collection." The early looks in the collection are androgynous, inspired of Pete Doherty and often teamed with battered top hats but as the show progresses Jean-Paul Gaultier turns his gaze to early cinematic masterpieces such as Fritz Lang's 1927 Metropolis and used metallic and Art-Deco inspired fabrics as in this dress. Tim Blanks reporting for Vogue, July 4, 2012. "The designer also paraded silken kimono-styled eveningwear that conveyed the fin de siècle feel …The colours absinthe, coral, gold, papal purple were the colours of opium dreams…Gaultier's collections are always a love song for Paris."
