PEOPLE LIVES MATTER ISN’T’IT?

People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

So we’re different colours and we’re different creeds
And different people have different needs
It’s obvious you hate me though I’ve done nothing wrong
I’ve never even met you, so what could I have done?

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?
People are people, so why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully?

And now you’re punching and you’re kicking
and you’re shouting at me
I’m relying on your common decency
So far, it hasn’t surfaced but I’m sure it exists
It just take a while to travel from your head to your fist

I can’t understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand

Depeche Mode, Martin L. Gore, 1984

Madonna in Jean Paul Gaultier corset by Jean-Baptiste Mondino for Harper’s Bazaar (1990)

Stéphane Sednaoui, Jean-Baptiste Mondino, Cindy Sherman, Bettina Rheims, Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott and David LaChapelle participated in the making of the image of Jean-Paul Gaultier.

Some of these photos have become true symbols of a style and an era. Above, for Harper’s Bazaar, Madonna photographied by Jean-Baptiste Mondino during The Blond Ambition Tour in her Jean Paul Gaultier corset is a good example.

Here are some photos of their photos i took during my visit of the exhibition of Jean-Paul Gaultier in Montreal, an other way to make the visit.
