As the Dallas Museum of Art prepares to open an exhibit of Jean Paul Gaultier's sometimes outrageous, always head-turning fashion designs, the city's well-heeled residents are mobilizing.

Dallas is one of just three North American cities — along with Montreal and San Francisco — hosting the exhibit of works by the French designer.
