GARETH PUGH

is London's enfant terrible. 

He's had warriors, dark knights, vampires . 

This time he had cockfighters. 

"Some things happened to me recently. Sometimes you just can't help changing, some things are out of control."

these pieces are beautiful.

 There is a feel to them that belongs to not just the stage or the catwalk, but for  all the outsiders in the world. And beyond. Its haunting, feminine, with danger and movement. Gareth has always had a sexy and strong to say with womenswear and just becomes more and more focused in his vision. He follows in a line of people whose extreme personal visions take you to a different universe. Gives me the feeling like somebody has finally reinvented fashion for the 21st century and rescued us all from retro regurgitation. Thank God.

This season, he was Inspired by the rawness of Latin American cockfighting.

For the show, A Capella soundtrack soared above the silhouettes and beneath the torrents of rain beating on the roof.

Trousers and sleeves were dramatic in length, trailing across the catwalk, extreme fringing adorned dress shoulders, hanging from the body like wings and spiked heels.The Latin feel was captured in a series of textured 3-D ruffles reflecting a coiffed, full-breasted cock, ready for the fight.

 Nightclubbin'

   

Anarchy with the Gender codes! Love it!

Many critics just didn't get it.  Some said "Like a Las Vegas celebrity tribute show".

I don't think you have to be local to see ITS GORGEOUS, ITS WITTY, ITS a fashion statement!.The past is important. And its ok to feel nostalgic as well. Perhaps Jean-Paul Gaultier was just trying to say that you can live large and be your own rock star…..? ....DER.
