With sci-fi imperial armored apparel, Gareth Pugh enables clients to roam planet earth with superb confidence. Live art in motion “the lovely Daphne Guinness” is an avid fan of Gareth Pugh. For her exhibit at the FIT Museum, she carefully chose pieces from Gareth Pugh’s collections, most notably a remarkable spiked-leather cat-suit from Fall 2009.
Pugh continually amazes fans with his trademark monochrome prints, geometrically cut stripe patterns, (his use of latex, sheer plastic and leather) and ultra-luxe voluminous fabric design. It brings me great pleasure to present Gareth Pugh, present to 2007.
