Dutch Designer: Gareth Pugh

Gareth Pugh is a Dutch cutting edge designer who takes fashion to another level. His 2012 Ready-To-Wear Spring collection consist of a black and white palette. As said on style.com “brilliant sound and vision to enhance his collection. In fact, it was positively happy, which sounds like a weird thing to say about a presentation that began with the image of a model in agonized isolation on the screen at the back of the catwalk. In a sense, Pugh orchestrated that reaction by cherry-picking through his own iconography. But the references to earlier collections—the stripes, the floating scarf points, the billowing balloon-y volumes, and the monochrome—were so expertly refreshed that there was never a moment of déjà vu.” –ISABELE MICHEL
