Gareth Pugh wowed audiences today with a video presentation of his collection. No one in the crowd seemed to know that they were in for this sort of viewing, and probably for the better because less people would have likely attended had they known. But the surprise was well-received, marked by the applause at the end and the long line of people who waited patiently for a moment with the designer post-show. The presentation was a short film, artfully done with music and imagery that lyrically melded the worlds of art and fashion. The collection, typical of Pugh's less-than-mainstream style, showed a marked maturity on the part of the designer.
