Creepy Couture at Gareth Pugh A/W 2013-2014

I was hoping for another hit of gothic romanticism post Giles in London, and Gareth Pugh’s Paris ‘ready to wear’ collection has come up with the goods! I quote ‘ready to wear’ as it’s not exactly ready to wear to the supermarket to get milk, but perhaps to a high fashion friend's birthday party?!

Like Giles, Pugh’s collection mixes a little ethereal with gothic drama. Oversized silhouettes, nipped in waists, and shredded black bag style fabrics made up this theatrical collection with overgrown branches creeping up from hems to add a touch of eeriness.

Deathly faced make-up was painted on by Alex Box and the show was styled by Katie Shillingford.

Ghostly Girls at Giles A/W 2013-2014

Oh Giles!!! Ghostly gothic faces floated down the runway adorned in a palette of ice white, jet black, pinks & purples smattered with gold. Romantic billowing sleeves and organza fabrics were offset with lazer cut leather and oversized wool beanies to keep the look a little more grungy.

A dramatic mix of ethereal and grunge, dark and light.

Giles, you genius.
