^Gareth Pugh does menswear?
Or he always did?

[TraiT]

^ it was just announced. Surprising eh?

Anyway, THANKS ALOT FOR THE INFO!

[BerlinRocks]

i don't know why .... but ... i'm a bit scared by exclusive menswear by Gareth Pugh ...

FYI he already did menswear in his debut collections
it wasn't bad ...
EDIT : if you meant a special menswear collection : he never did !
but he sure did some stuff for men in almost all his collections ...

anybody has more informations anyway about the fact he's doing menswear ? i don't remember he ever talked about this ... his Paris collection worked that well ?????

Hugo and Gareth Heading to Paris Men's Catwalks

Godfrey Deeny
December 16th, 2008 @ 00:36 AM - Paris
Uber brand Hugo Boss will kick off the next Paris men’s collections in January and British wunderkind Gareth Pugh will make his foreign men’s debut in that season’s final show, underlining the French capital’s unique ability to attract major foreign talent.

“It’s our first time in Paris with Hugo and we are so exited. With our great designer Bruno Pieters, our product and fashion forward approach we feel we will synch very well in the calendar,” enthused Philipp Wolff, Boss’ global communications chief.

Hugo will open the season with a 10.30 AM show on Thursday, Jan. 22 in the Couvent des Cordeliers, a well known medieval show space located near the Sorbonne.

“We liked the space immediately and feel it’s perfect for Hugo, which we want to see presented more regularly on a calendar,” explained Wolff, marking a significant change in Boss strategy.

Wolff is one of the architects of Boss’ novel tactic of staging major one-off fashion spectaculars either in emerging seasons like Berlin, or in major fashion capitals like New York or Florence.

In October 2007, Julia Roberts and Julianne Moore sat front row in New York’s historic Cunard Building when Boss presented its Black collection, in a stylish dinner show one month after the Manhattan season. This past June, Boss Orange staged a immense runway show and dinner for 600 in a custom-made Gethsemane-style olive groove in a villa designed by no less than Michelangelo Buonarroti, just outside Florence during that city’s Pitti, the world’s top men’s wear trade fair.

“But we still plan some mega events,” cautioned Wolff, who confirmed Boss will stage a spectacular in Berlin, during that city’s next fledgling season, the week after Paris men’s shows end, though without going into details.

Gareth Pugh’s men’s show, scheduled as the final event in the four-day Paris season that ends January 25, will mark the first time this iconoclastic UK talent presents men’s fashion apart from his women’s designs.

Pugh staged a triumphant debut in Paris in September, though surprised many editors by just presenting women’s clothes, as his shows up until then had always featured both.

“We discovered after Gareth’s first separate women’s show that some of the men’s editors who came to the show in Paris felt left out. Some shops even bought the looser T shirts in the show, but in larger sizes for men,” explained Mandi Leonard, Pugh’s London PR.

Pugh, who will again present in the Palais de Tokyo, climaxes a season of 46 scheduled shows, which includes major brands like Louis Vuitton, Christian Dior, Lanvin, Paul Smith and Hermes, trend setters like Dries Van Noten and Yohji Yamamoto and emerging avant garde talent like Juun J., Wintle, Petar Petrov and Julius.

“It’s a miracle that Gareth’s show is happening. We needed a slot on the calendar that worked for the Palais de Tokyo, and ended up getting the final show, which is a nice touch,” exclaimed Leonard.

“We think Gareth’s infrastructure and his great relationship with his factory in Italy means it’s easier to makes things happen. After our September show sales really got going,” added Leonard, noting that Pugh retails in over 20 stockists, including directional boutiques like Colette in Paris, Dover Street and Browns in London, Podium in Moscow and Maxfield in Los Angeles.

Boss, by contrast, boasted 2007 annual revenues of some 1.7 billion euros, and has never shirked from spending major bucks on shows. This January, Boss staged a mega event for Hugo, taking over Tempelhof Airport – the immense 1927 structure used to break the Soviet blockade during the Berlin Airlift. That fall 2008 collection marked the debut of Belgian-born Pieters at Hugo, the giant German brand’s most classic label.

in June 2007, Permira acquired Boss, after the UK equity fund won a fraught takeover battle for Valentino Fashion Group (VFG), the parent company of both Valentino and Hugo Boss. Observers had predicted that Permira would trim Boss’ substantial ad and events budget, but judging from the back-to-back Paris and Berlin events that has not turned out to be the case.

^ ok thanks !!

well i'm really surprised by this ....

We discovered after Gareth’s first separate women’s show that some of the men’s editors who came to the show in Paris felt left out. Some shops even bought the looser T shirts in the show, but in larger sizes for men,” explained Mandi Leonard, Pugh’s London PR.

is it a gimmick explanation or is this true ?
i kind of felt that gareth's latest collection would work better than previous' ones ...
but that men editors would feel "left out" ?! are you being serious ?
gareth only showed like 3-4 looks and it's not always that great (ie wearable) !
is it only Nicola Formichetti who felt "left out" ?! or maybe Terence Koh ?
i've never seen anyone wearing Pugh seriously on streets ... or a picture of Pugh in a male editorial .... WHERE ??
anybody a picture of a man wearing Pugh ?

and i'm wondering who is supporting him to show in Paris ...
i'm not sure he makes that much $$$ ...


oh and i'm waiting for Rick Owens too ....
youpi !

[Scott]

yes it's breaking news it appears. diane posted about it as well today. and from what i read,i do believe it's an official collection. its great for menswear. really,this side could do with more excitement....and if gareth can bring even more attention and a refreshing aesthete and perspective...it can only be a good thing ultimately.

and as well,completely ecstatic about the hugo by bruno pieters showing too! too bad its not his own label but i will take any bruno any time.

[Scott]

well berlin,gareth himself as well as his partner i often see in pieces. so it definitely works for men,his aesthetics. perhaps that's what they mean. they have all of these pieces but not in large enough sizes for men to wear any? which might explain the loose t'shirt bit.

[BerlinRocks]

^what annoys me the most in this story ... is actually that it's becoming a huge PR thingy ...

and though i like the debut of Pugh in menswear ... i'm not sure he needed to do a menswear catwalk ... re-adding the menswear in the womenswear would be enough ...
but he is now in Paris ... and Paris is different ... it's not London ...

[god_save_hedi]

thank you for the dates!
i really expected hedi to show up, however. so sad he wouldn't

i'm excited about pugh's menswear line, i hope it's wearable. rick owens show is great news too!

[happycanadian]

i'm SOOOOOOOOO excited!!!!

it feels like it's been FOREVER since the last menswear shows!
