'Designer Of the Week' is obviously a weekly post, where I randomly select a designer from my list of many favourites and showcase and comment on them. Along with a few of my favourite images of either them or their work and hopefully also a good video too. :)
GARETH PUGH
English designer Gareth Pugh wows the fashion world with his performance art/ready-to-wear which transforms the models into architectural superhuman beings. I love this about his work,what he creates always seems to make a simplistic yet audacious statement.

Gareth's work always stands out to me each year and I think this is mostly to do with the fact that he is different from the other 'alternative designers'. His firm belief in who he is and what he does is the reason why his aesthetic doesn't change each season and I believe this is why he can't be compared to any of the other alternative designers. He more or less undergoes transitions or evolutions from his previous collections. This shows that his collections are a true expression of self rather then of reference. As he is has only really had 5 years in the business, from what I can see so far, Pugh still has a lot ahead of him and I'm really looking forward to seeing the many collections and new evolutions yet to come.
