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.
(Is Topiary tree the new silouette?!)
Deathly faced make-up was painted on by Alex Box and the
show was styled by Katie Shillingford.
