Jean Paul Gaultier: Statement, or PR Stunt?

Jean Paul Gaultier added his two cents into the size zero model-rexic debate by putting a size 20 on the runway during his Paris show yesterday morning.

Bravo. But – did he do it for the PR, or to make an actual statement? My guess is a bit of both. I guarantee you that Gaultier wouldn’t have made it into the Daily Mail today had he used the classic waif.

So does it work? What do you think?
