Stephanie LaCava reports on the Gareth Pugh show
There were slick skintight or laser cut leather, bell sleeves and exaggerated bell bottoms, corsetry, priestess dresses and jumpsuits in black, brown, dove grey and that awesome red.
The show opened with a black-veiled model and closed with a model in a ruffled red top and cape. What happened between the two was a journey between centuries and continents, sometimes as far as outer space. There were slick skintight or laser cut leather, bell sleeves and exaggerated bell bottoms, corsetry, priestess dresses and jumpsuits in black, brown, dove grey and that awesome red. This woman is sexual, alluring and worldly, she can go Geisha-style (sharp silver sticks in her hair) while channeling La Reine Margot at the same time. The magic piece de resistance is that Merlin meets alien invader cape.
