RNC attendees tried to hide a demonstrator’s “No racism, No hate” sign with an American flag. Clearly they failed to see the irony. The protester was from the Code Pink group — who haven’t been slowed down by this at all.

The idea of “acting” your sexuality is interesting, but Tom Ford is way, way post-AIDS. Or at least post AIDS hysteria. The place to look at is the early to mid 1980s, when you had the cartoonish sexuality of Mugler and that hard, aggressive Montana woman, who looked like her sexuality could kill you. And there was also Yohji and Comme, whose clothes were desexed; and Westwood and Lacroix, escaping into history. Which fashion often does. I think Gaultier is very interesting in that cultural landscape, because he was articulating an overt gay sexuality at a time when it wasn’t just seen as subversive and different, but actually threatening. But he also cast real people as his models - he championed reality, and humanity. I wonder if that was a reaction to AIDS, even if unconscious? What Gaultier did in the 1980s was very powerful, and very different.
