At this point, there's need to remind you that Jean Paul Gaultier is an enduring fashion icon. As proof that the French designer is an eternal prankster as well as tastemaker, Gaultier is starring in a shockingly surreal--and creepily unhinged--Diet Coke commercial. In it, the enfant terrible dresses a little English "fashionista" while on her way to a job interview, after she wakes from a troubled slumber to find she can't locate her perfect ensemble (harkening back to the days of supermodels who wouldn't rise from their beds unless a hefty sum was at stake). Seems like this is a role Monsieur Gaultier has played before, seeing as he's been pulling strings (and pushing buttons) in the fashion world for many a decade now.
