Jean Paul Gaultier bounds into the Ristorante National in Paris doing something distinctly British: complaining about the weather. “It’s so hot,” he says. “It’s quite humid, I think, it’s not a nice dry heat.” Casual in a denim shirt and camo-print jacket, he joins me at his usual table in a far corner of the trendy Italian restaurant in the Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers. “It’s a long time since you’ve been here,” says a waiter as he takes our drinks order (two “detox” juices, on Gaultier’s recommendation). “I know,” responds the designer with a shrug, “because work, work, work.”
让-保罗•高提耶(Jean Paul Gaultier)一步一窜地走进了巴黎Ristorante National餐馆，接下来的所作所为却十足英伦范儿：抱怨天气。“实在太热了。”他说道，“太潮湿了，不是那种舒服的干热。”他身穿牛仔衬衫和迷彩夹克，装扮十分休闲。我在餐厅深处角落里那张他常坐的桌子旁等他——这家时髦的意大利餐厅位于巴黎国立工艺学院酒店(Hôtel National des Arts et Métiers)内。“您可很久没来了。”一位侍者说着，端来了我们点的饮料（听从高提耶的推荐，点了两杯detox排毒果汁）。“我知道。”这位设计师耸了耸肩，答道，“因为要工作，工作，工作。”
