Gareth Pugh S/S 09 Paris

This was really amazing!! He is trurly visionary. You can't even compare his work to anybody because its so incredibly unique!

Obviously the closing pieces were some of the more avant-garde show pieces.

Call me insane, but I actually saw a lot of wearability in this collection. The jackets, the pants and some of the dresses were all extremely wearable.

Love it. I love how architectural he is.

Paris Is Here!

[cads]

The first few looks showed promise, but after that it slips into familiarity, and to be honest, becomes boring.

Im loving this! Far more wearable than his previous work but still very much Pugh. What a great show to start off the week with

I'm going to be one of the few who are not *that* impressed. I liked his past collections because there's something new in the shapes and textures he created. They were theatrical but not costumes. Apart from a few pieces here, eg. a couple of coatdresses, these are the usual Elizabethan costumes but interpreted in a space-age galactic way. Looks like some past Royal Antwerpen Academy projects, and didn't Tisci do these ruffs a couple of seasons back, and Balenciaga the robotic influences? I've no problems with wearability, but this isn't fresh, and too much into costume territorry.

I think it's great! I mean, there are several pieces I'm not crazy for...but on the whole, I think it's fantastic...it's great to see something (slightly) new from him!

I'm in love with this collection
There's something so futuristic yet romantic about it.
I hope this is the start to an amazing Paris fashion week!

[Fabulyss]

I don't care how innovative it is, it's ugly!

i've never been the biggest fan of gareth pugh but there were always a few pieces i liked. this collection is great though, it's insane but beautiful. i'm not going totally crazy about it but it's refreshing after so many wearable collections. good start!

I would mind having more "robot pierrots" in the fashion industry. Keep 'em coming! The more the better.

Jokes aside..this goes back to when fashion used to be more expressive and personal. I'd like to draw an odd parallel-this and Yves' work. When you look at the Russian collection, the incredible jackets beaded with Van Gogh's "Irises", it all has the same freedom and creativity.

I like things that make you see beyond the wearability Let's all get excited about Paris (and things like this) now!
