Paris Fashion Week | Gareth Pugh Fall/Winter 2010

Written by Carl on Thursday, March 4th, 2010 | 2010, Runway, alex dunstan, fall, fall 2010, gareth pugh, johannes linder, mark cox, matthew hitt, matvey lykov, paris fashion week   

As Gareth Pugh continues to blur the gender line, his menswear has gradually become less affected, while conveying a certain softness. Dressed in his customary color palette of black and gray, this season’s collection takes an affection for light and thoughtful draping. Relaxed and less body conscious than previous seasons, the Pugh man is undoubtedly on the cusp of tomorrow’s fashion, but his direction is more subtle. Still however, Gareth Pugh gains attention with a mischevious attention to detail as seen in the collection’s more provocative leather pieces–often reminiscent of S&M themes and the designer’s edge factor.

London Fashion Week | J.W. Anderson Fall 2010

Written by Carl on Wednesday, February 24th, 2010 | 2010, Runway, bastiaan ninaber, callum wilson, fall, fall 2010, j.w. anderson, jacob coupe, johannes linder, london fashion week, william eustace   

For the fall 2010 season, J.W. Anderson’s more graceful approach to menswear is at odds with an imaginative rebellious faction. Inspired by “saints or assassins with a cross-country paramilitary vibe”, Anderson pulls from varied references including his Irish heritage. The result are constrasting elements that can be interpreted in several ways. For instance, the romantic idea of countryside plaid is understated with subdued colors and a semi-traditional cut before going the way of a punk aesthetic with a vibrant red and more modern cuts. From stern dark suiting and bold wraps to the quaint cardigan, J.W. Anderson layers this season’s collection with excitement and unexpectedness.
