Gareth Pugh British Fashion Designer

London Fashion Week – RTW SS19

British fashion designer Gareth Pugh takes inspiration from society’s outcasts with his latest collection, which he describes as « uncompromising, anarchic and fiercely confrontational ».

Pugh’s Spring Summer 2019 collection, presented at the Old Selfridges Hotel during London Fashion Week, features a « riot of print and colour » with geometrically patterned morph suits, exaggerated tailoring and paramilitary boots.

The designer dedicated the show to his friend and mentor, stylist and punk icon Judy Blame, who passed away in February.

« Judy was uncompromising, ungovernable and fiercely anti-establishment. He was a creative extremist, » said Pugh.

« He came up in the 1980s and 1990s, where much of culture was moving toward the shallow and the acquisitive. Dumbed-down, debased and dissociated from its primary purpose: creative expression, » he continued. « Judy was a counterpoint to that. »
