Gareth is just trying too hard, it seems like it isnt what he really wants to do (asthetic wise). McQueen made that whole terrifying thing beautiful, he just has the talent to make it beautifully morbid, kind of sick the way the clothes are made but they're still beautifully made...
I don’t often post here because my fashion world credentials are nil, but as a consumer with a long memory of styles and times gone by, I can say with confidence that more of the apparently outrageous design elements and shapes offered by the likes of Gareth Pugh will ultimately find their way into mainstream fashion than any of the bleached-out rags shown by what I call the Miss Havisham school of designers (no names – I value my life!).
Scare the heck out of them Gareth, this is what they need, i bet if he had done a trendy/mainstream collection he would not have been reviewed by vogue. Damn if you do damn if you dont. if this is what he believes he has to do to get those who influence fashion to give him a little bit of respect and media coverage-well, do it some more Gareth,do it some more............................
I don't like the clothes so much but heck I respect the dude for pulling this off! Great to see something that's different and laughs at fashion!

Interesting... the glow in the dark was a bit nifty, but i am pretty sure this saw the line where fashion met art and decided to run a marathon past it. Avante-Garde ~ better suited for a gallery, but very interesting none the less.

I get what youre saying... this collection is a really good response for the "fashion is so boring now" thread, it would be interesting to see if he tones it down next season. Hopefully he will just a bit and bring some new life into an overpopulated industry.
