Gareth Pugh Fall 2006/2008




















Gareth Pugh presents a futuristic warrior in many of his collections, using cut defined lines through talering and panelling in most of his gaments. Against a monotone background the sharp symettrical garments in all black enhanced the stylized look of the model on the catwalk. From head to toe the geometric shapes and leather panelling were a key feature in Pugh’s collection even shown in his boots, this type of masquline flair is feautured in the looks of many evil characters in starcraft and world of warcraft. Soldiers and warriors are often the main characters in many online games Pugh’s use of helmets, hood and metalics mimicks the armour of japanese samourise this asain inspiration is also found in almost all online games because many of them started and are most popular in countries like Japan. Generally speaking the unique goth styling of Garthes pughs garments also exhibits many gamers choice of clothing, during my research i have found mild goth attitudes and lifestyles are often found in the gaming community such as in there taste in heavy metal music. The classic Pugh graphic styling and garment construction shown in so many of his collections has an obvious connection with japanese anime and traditional asian imagery which has always been one of the main inspirations in gaming design since its beginings.
