If this was 2512, I think, this would’ve been some kind of mainstream collection. There is an eerie yet romantic and diaphanous air about this collection. Something that would make Queen Amidala and her peers longing to wear. The styling and makeup of the show conjured up a dark and sultry mood suited to that of the clothing that Gareth has designed. This is a big step and a widening of his talent away from the hard-edged super-structured looks that earned him his stamp on the fashion world.The experiment on different fabrics is also thrilling as the clothes seem lighter, more fluid then his usual signature. This obsession was very evident in the feather light tops, dresses, and pants that were micro-pleated or woven or slashed in crepe or chiffon. It is a collection that I am sure will feature in more alternative magazines as well as the usual glossies. Pugh is definitely light years ahead of time.
