Gareth Pugh - Fash-Off - a Showstudio Project

[Estella*]

NEW PROJECTS



Showing now on: http://www.showstudio.com

FASH-OFF: Gareth Pugh

Feted for his commitment to creating provocative spectacles over mundane,

workaday clothes, controversial young designer Gareth Pugh will be using the

SHOWstudio live platform to stage a series of performances to mark Couture

Week, the first week of July 2006. Each representing his attitude towards the

different aspects of his whirlwind fashion career thus far, the afternoon

broadcasts will focus on themes of boredom and repetition, artifice and

multiple personae, high-octane glamour and the falsity of easily-won

acclaim. Of course, no Gareth Pugh project would be complete without

the attendant party, which he will be throwing to open the series.



Gareth will also be providing unprecedented access to the 'world of Gareth'

in the run up to the live events. An ongoing image diary kept over June and

captured via his trademark Polaroids, will detail the month in process and a

documentary film shot by Gareth during a trip home to his native Sunderland

will provide a unique portrait of the designer's background and image world.

As the final performances will be running in parallel with Couture, Gareth has

agreed to open up his own construction process to scrutiny, whereby he will

be the next contributor to our prestigious Design_Download series, offering

up a pattern for viewers to make up, style and photograph.

Hum ... well ... all his works get awful reviews from old tFS threads ...

At least it will be something -nightmarish- beautiful to look at ... and even more fun to comment on!

PS. I cant believe a reality tv star is on Showstudio!

To tell you the truth, his work has always scared me a little.
