His designs are unusual eccentric and can sometimes appear to be quite scary and it’s all
thanks to the creative mind of British Fashion Designer Gareth Pugh. His theatrical
designs began in his early teens when he started working for the English National Youth
Theatre as a costume designer. He then went on to complete a degree in Fashion Design
at Central Saint Martin’s in 2003 where his used of balloons to emphasize parts of the

McQueen, John Galliano, and Vivian Westwood.
Pugh made his solo debut during London’s ocean 2006 fashion week with crowds
cheering as his highly inspired collections they all went to the cat work. Huge inflatable
puffercoats, black rubber cat suits, and enormous head pieces were teamed with Doc
Martin’s platform booths to give an urban park feel. Models posted poodle inspired hair
styles and are steel white makeup making the collection at times both androgynous and
macaw.
Since shooting to fame, has come to be considered one of London’s proudest achievers,
his springs some of 2007 collection unraveled like a forbidden but delicious addiction. A
white fabric layer on the cat walk in the natural history museum became an unusual and
possibly quite dangerous wind tunnel as the models appeared in more vivid extravagant
designs.
A black and white checkered cashmere dress undulating around the body and in an
architectural vision appeared while models heads were faceless balloons, vacuumed patch
and rubber would hardly design for both air and eyeholes. Many dresses of PVC and the
prospects patch works of black and white or a metal mesh shifted over rubber body’s
stockings of black, silver, or white and came on the variations of the suffocating gimp
masks. Some decorated with gothic silver’s wells on this with glittering highly
competence and botched up rubber pigmentations.
Pugh’s symmetric quotes that’s full of arrows the cat walk itself came in silver and black
check foil and above that the puff colors the nightmare and moss had ponytails standing
erect like Spartan battle dress.
In 2007 Pugh held a show of his collections from the past five years with fashion and
motion at the Victorian and Albert Museum and with his uncompromising and
challenging style he was a perfect fit but this collection he combined a luxury fabric such
as cashmere fur and leather with edging materials including rubber and human hair to
create a fantasy of exaggerated silhouette and textures.

patch works and long straps of cloth. Mini skirts, torn trousers and long coats plus furs
and silver chains. He has even gone as far as basing his show on the Wizard of Oz but
giving Dorothy a hot and threatening edge. He dressed models in Army like dresses and
angular two two’s with ghost white faces and blue lips and has presented a mono
dramatic black and white display of ArmaLite Designs that Echo Hamlet, Ophelia, and
