Jean Paul Gaultier presented yesterday at the Teatre Coliseum in Barcelona his work Fashion Freak Show, a passionate, sexy and shameless vision of fashion that addresses the prolific career of the eccentric and essential French designer from his childhood to reaching the peak of haute couture, performing also a tribute to his personal myths in cinema and music, such as Catherine Deneuve, Pedro Almodóvar, Jean Luc Besson, Madonna and Kylie Minogue. On stage, Rossy de Palma stands as a beacon for a cast of artists who mix circus and provocation, technology and acrobatics. Among the guests, Rigoberta Bandini, Isabel Coixet, Irene Montalà, Julieta, Enrique del Pozo, Jessica Goicoechea and Antonia dell'Atte.
Antonia dell'Atte is glowing under her bright red wide-brimmed hat. The next day she will fly to her native Brindisi (in Italy) but this afternoon she wanted to be at the Coliseum. “I had doubts about whether to come or not because I had to be in Milan today but in the end I stayed in Barcelona. Barcelona deserves glamor and Jean-Paul Gaultier is a designer who has made fashion even greater. I have only worked with him once. And, as you know, I was Armani's muse; But notice that Gaultier turned on many occasions to a woman very similar to me but blonde, Simonetta Gianfelici.”
Dell'Atte is a judge on the talent Dancing with the Stars (Telecinco), whose final has been scheduled for next October 13 in a special with the best moments of the finalists. This is how he values his experience: “I'm loving it, because I think that although others are better, I distinguish myself from them because of my irony. I'm awesome. I always give my evaluation with respect, always, but with irony I can say anything. I am free. Although sometimes there are moments that... Like when I told Miguel Torres 'I love it, I'll wait for you in my dressing room.' And he said, are you harassing me? I say, no, my love. You don't understand the joke. If I say that I'll wait for you in my dressing room, I mean I'll give you classes. But I don't have a dressing room! As if I say 'if you want, I'll wait for you in my car' and I don't have a car either. Well, there are people who don't understand my irony, which is very sophisticated and academic. It doesn't matter, I'm loving the program because there are very good dancers and a very professional jury.”
Giorgio Armani's muse explains that for her, dancing is magic and an unparalleled channel to release stress, tension and sadness. And Antonia appreciates that a contestant reached the final who, perhaps due to his ability, was not the best, but who has a charisma capable of elevating him above the rest: “I adore Bruno Vila, a boy who with his magic eliminated many who deserved to be there.” . “The public is in charge and we will see what happens next April 13.”
