i think roisin looks good!

 

[LetThemEatCake]

I dont think that looks good on her at all! Wish the video was shot normally...its distracting, the flashing images of other models.

^a- May - Zing!!!

(I meant Róisín Murphy, already seen the dazed-video, but it's pretty sweet too, but not very good for actually showcasing the collection. Gives a nice feeling of it though)

 

[TREVOFASHIONISTO]

I quite like this collection alot..
i jus love gareth pugh

 

[unipine]

i don't know. i see interesting construction, but i'm not impressed by him at all.

 

[ParadEyes]

every season is always the worst season ever

not for me. i thought last season was interesting.

 

[virus_slayer]

i love the silhouettes!

I feel like a lot of people here appreciate Gareth now because of Paris and the ANDAM... but the creativity is the same as in London ! There are so many Pugh-ish things in this shows : black & white, safety pins, plastic, strong shapes...

 

[helmut.newton]

He might not stay in Paris though!

It all depends on funding!!!

It could be back to London next season!

I really do not see what people see in Gareth, compared to what people like Margiela or Rick owens does this is so immature. He will never be more an a reality tv star to me.

I don't think Pugh will go away as of yet, but it all depends on alot of things:
What will he do to sell, will he sell off-the-runway at extremely high prices? Or will he make some more toned-down garments for retail? Or will he keep saying "**** selling"?
He has some lovers in high places, Rick and Michelle is keeping him floating as of now, and I have a feeling they will carry on doing that. He certainly has gotten some new admirers now in Paris, he might float of his connections.
IF he moves "down" from Paris and back to London, it's uncertain how he will take it. He can see it in the perspective that he had his 15 minutes and is now free to do whatever the f*ck he wants, or he might take it as a kick in the teeth and start compromising, watering it all down - and from there it is really an uncertain road. He may pull it off brilliantly, and join Rick Owens, Ann D and McQueen or it will be half-arsed and poor, and he will be a one-hit-wonder that soon falters and disappear.

It is in general a whole lot of if, but my gut feeling is that he will keep his head above water, carry on refining his work and go to the top. What ever happenes, I think what he has done, and the flames (and discussions) he has started won't die anytime soon, and has opened an important door for fashion as more than dresses and suits. He won't be forgotten soon, no matter.

and vanwood, I think comparing Gareth and Rick is like asking what is the better of a certain flavour of ice cream and a certain flavour of chocolate. They don't try to do the same thing, and can not really be compared in any way. They coexist in different aspects of fashion.

i love the silhouettes!

me too! gareth is such a genius!

 

[IloveDiorHomme]

I don't think that Gareth will go back to London, I think he'll work in London but 'll show in Paris. Now, he joined the club of the designers from London who are in Paris like MC Queen or Galliano

I want him to stay in Paris because it'll be easier for me to go to his next show

More vids have arrived...here Gareth talks, Rick Owens appreciates, buyers and journalists tell of their favorite pieces....

I don't know if this has been posted, but for me Caroline Roitfeld's facial expression sums up the show for me: a little confused, but still interested, and laughing a little!

 

[snowqueen]

love it both as art and clothing so sculptural its fab

 

[BettyCooper]

Being an [ahem] former club kid I can appreciate the imaginative quality of these pieces, however why is Gareth's futurism acceptable while Ghesquiere's is not????
