I thought I was being all clever by spotting Samurai costume in Gareth's collections and so asked him about his direction yesterday -apparently- that all the puffs and gathers should be nice and taut.
True to form, Gareth poo-pooed any talk of historical referencing and said he'd no idea the silhouettes in the collection would be so extreme until all the zips were sewn together and the final pieces took shape.

I suspect they can also function as handy (and very stylish) oven gloves. Nigella will be on the blower any second...
love,
Alex.
Alex, how on earth will you man the SHOWstudio picture phone in Paris wearing those?
patience and perseverance, penny.
and probably parisian perspiration, frankly, if our weather is anything to go by...
(alliterate much?)
love,
Alex.
