Gareth Pugh - S/S 2014

Paris fashion week. Gareth Pugh presentation of collection for Spring/Summer 2014 in colour! Outstanding! Begining the show with feathered headpieces, Pugh was already promising a good trip to future. From floor sweeping silk dresses in cyan and white via Matrix styled PVC jackets, coats with sharp shoulders, kimono alike jackets with PVC elements, extra tight high leather boots, and vacuum high collar dresses, Pugh decided to complete look with theatrical make-up. This collection is not what we got used from Mr. Pugh, it's not monochromatic, it is totally different, and it is a very good change. His world is still same - unique, dark and very Pugh-ish, but elements are evolving and changing.  This time they got neon sign "Welcome aboard".
