If you like theatric shows by Alexander McQueen, be sure you pay attention to this 27 years old English designer, Gareth Pugh, as he is getting a lot of press attentions and might be on his way to stardom.
By having a backer as big as Michelle Lamy, significant other of Rick Owens (whose design I adore), and Anna Wintour as one of Pugh's notable supporters. There is no wonder LVMH wants to have a hand in "nurturing" this young designer. The gossip is Pugh might even be considered to take over Dior Homme, one of the gazillion labels under LVMH's conglomerate.
In fashion business, designers always need to balance creativity and commercialism. McQueen has compromised, apparently Gareth is no exception. However, what I love about McQueen and Gareth is even though they have toned down their avant-garde and surreal silhouette, their design is still one of a kind and inspirational. I hope Gareth Pugh would stand his ground, stick to his visions, and continue to amaze us with his breath-taking creation.
