i think this is the same architect ...
Santiago Calastrava (spelling ?) ...


so the influence would be McQueen + Calastrava + Rick Owens ...
oh and forget ... grey !

Well I think we've seen most of this in the thread already, but full collection style.it

[esquire]

the headpieces look very McQueen ...

but it's indeed exciting ...

but still more McQueen than exciting.. ( and in some cases very bad tailoring ) shame.

 

[hautechild]

still style.it

Wow. Now I look at it all in a row...that's a lot of grey

unfortunately i made that comment only when i saw the headpieces.
now. my mind is on the opposite.

cannot believe the buyers are loving this.
gareth pugh is no more a "young talent". it's official. he hasn't prove anything yet.

That`s the best outfit for me...What do you think?Which outfit guys is your favorite???

 

[simons]

wow short. when i saw the first looks, i thought i was looking at a rick owens collection. i still think gareth pugh is rick owens with embellishments. the collection is actually very boring to me, nothing new though i like the shredded dress at the end. like the grey, hate the shoes.

for some reason, i cant point to what, but this collection seems well put together, like it seems more finished in its making than previous collections..

I don't see how he has been able to put the same dress on the runway for the past four seasons and not change the pattern up. Hm, I don't know, the thrill is gone. I wonder how many more seasons he is going to reuse patterns from S/S 08

 

[Salvatore]

Not so good, but I love the idea behind the last two garments. Very beautiful idea, but I am not so sure of the execution yet.

The whole thing is very derivative of Owens & Mcqueen ( we've seen all this before - make that last shredded dress in nude and you'll have an Alberta Ferretti . lol) , if you take the drama apart you will end with a bad fitted dress or a tricksy jacket, looks cheapIMO

Agreed - the enfant terrible is pure tricksy hype (disguised in the makeup drama) .. for London it somehow worked for Paris is rather flimsy

 

[retailqueen]

the comments are harsh here, considering the love that some *cough* who produce the same collection time and time again receive.
It's not that bad but nothing is remotely wearable ( altough I got told of here for being follish to expect wearable ready to wear)

 

[hautechild]

^^ sorry for the accidental dupe btw Evidently I especially liked that one

this is the one I missed:

(style.it)

Oh and can I ask please don't hotlink if possible. I don't have unlimited bandwidth...

I love the fact that so soon, he is already beeing retrospective and self-refering.

I don't envy Pugh, unlike RO which has 1)Gradually, slowly building up reputation and 2)is accepted for beeing consistent instead of changing - Gareth Pugh has gone from artsy gothy costume fashion stomp-in-your-face-heres-sum-drama designer in good ol' London to beeing analyzed from top to toe in Paris. It's also funny how he got so much hash critique for making costumes instead of clothing, never really accepted. Suddenly the tide is changing - opposite of him - to suddenly mentioning this isn't his best, it's dull, not his best at all. I love it, and I love it connected to the video-cube. The zen-like boringness of the greys, the slow motions, the runway-pictures glooming like forgotten photographies from another time, frozen, slow.

I do think Pugh will stick around. Maybe (hopefully) not in the mega-spotlight he has been struggling in now, he is too... introverted, perhaps, to strive to please. Rick Owens found his style, then became an "it-designer" (much to his dismay, I belive, and the total coincidence that he/they have captured some zeitgeist) and kept on going. Pugh was discovered, thrown into the limelight and expected to change, conform or evolve into what the market, fashionistas, or the friggin' fashion bloggers thought about him. I don't think he will. I hope he don't.

I think you'll be better off next season. I heard he was showing in LA with his new "Gareth Pugh jeans 'n shirts"-line.
(sorry, I know that was perhaps uncalled for, but COMEON!?)

this should be his collection review for style.com ... (I just don't love as you do)

I agree - most of these pieces just seem to fit really badly, it just looks lazy and careless. I'm sure there's some convoluted, pretentious, reference-laden reason Pugh could waffle up if he was put on the spot; but really there's no excuse for bad craftsmanship. It seems like he's getting worse and worse - just make it look a bit gothic, a bit theatrical, and nobody notices the half-hearted effort
