SPRING/SUMMER 2010

In advance of the unveiling of his collection for S/S 2010 in Paris, fashion designer Gareth Pugh collaborates once again with filmmaker Ruth Hogben to lay out the inspiration behind his forthcoming show in a unique video piece. Each of these films represents one of four elements - earth, wind, water and fire - presented simultaneously as an interactive cube and set against a soundscape devised by Matthew Stone. A prequel rather than a preview, this piece sets the mood for Pugh's forthcoming collection through a combination of art, fashion and moving image.

This is the video he showed in NYC but the proper show is in Paris. I hope its ok that I put both cities down because both are involved.

Am I the only person who sees only a large cube, a not very interesting one I might add?

[DD.-]

I love him and his clothes, but that video doesn't make any sense to me
thanks for posting

[from: sophia]

lol I dont get it either but I felt like posting anyway and then if people do get it they can enlighten us.

[Zazie]

I thought it was maybe my browser that's not playing anything, but if that stupid cube is all there is, then Gareth Pugh is buying too much into his own hype.

[Ariadne]

If you wait, you'll see a video start playing. You can use the arrows to get to the other sides of the cube. I didn't have the patience to watch the videos to completion though.

watching this is like torture

Ah, thanks! I watched it so others don't have to - v e r y s l o w moving images of a black ball turning into white, a shadow of a church with some geometric light and a vague image of a goth queen, some shadows of a guy jumping with some chiffon material around him, some shadows of people falling. I'd be embarrassed to put this up as a first year art student project....it's so..... NOTHING.

I'd rather watch paint dry.

as always? no?

Boring. I'll wait until paris

[eugenius]

I'm too dumb to understand this "fashion show".

[Scott]

listen i'm all for irreverent and esoteric presentations and films but it would have been nice to see some actual work. the whole point of film presentations is to give a visualisation to the clothes but alas i didn't see anything relevant to the clothes.

i like gareth's work but sometimes i feel like he can take himself too seriously and do some pretty pretentious things.

[Lady Bird]

Thanks to the internet I have the attention span of a gnat. I watched 3 seconds of the video (which I thought was generous) before switching off.

Now I just think he's a prententious tw*t. Just show your clothes Gareth! In the words of Danny Glover - I'm too old for this sh*t.

[BerlinRocks]

it's a trailer ...
a boring trailer, indeed !

so gareth pugh is in the whole video system, now ?
more than the video system. the trailer makes me wanna say it's even in the cinema business that his things are gonna happen.

just wish there'll be a presentation + the video.

idk ...

In the words of Danny Glover - I'm too old for this sh*t.

love that !
