London Fashion Week Fall 2007: Gareth Pugh

I’d like to first dedicate this review to the model that took a tough tumble off the stage at Gareth Pugh. Honey, we forgive you. We also understand. Keeping that in mind, take note that Gareth does not design for the weary. Asymmetrically cut and coloured hair, black lacquered masks and starkly painted faces brought fourth a dynamic show this season. The straight-to-the point collection (fifteen pieces in all) was all black and white. But make no mistake the collection added even more colour to London’s Fashion Week.

Throughout the show Pugh played with structured shapes and textures never hitting a dull moment. However, this was not just a show of epic proportions (literally). Remove the drama. Cut the fat. And what you have left are monochromatic pieces with a touch of drama. Knitted black coats with contrasting fabrics, belted wool coats and cowl-necked dresses with ebony fringe, were eye-candy. Then of course there were all of the black –stripped plastic ponchos, another element in itself. It was quite a spectacle, joining art and commerce in wearable matrimony.

Pugh who is still relatively a rookie to the industry, has been deemed as London’s new conceptualist designer, a spot once held by the likes of Alexander McQueen and John Galliano. So in case you didn’t get the point, keep your eyes on this one…
