I'm not trying to sound like I know Gareth Pugh's designs very well so this entry might be as loosely written as you could see. In general I think this designer has always produced collections which evoke that dark, brooding emotion with its extreme silhouettes and proportion, not to mention the predominantly black colour used, yet painfully beautiful all the while (see, I told you I'm shite at opining collections. OKAY, let's just simply say his designs have gothic influences, there you go...).
Anyhow this time around he still remains to his aesthetics of fine architectural shapes and technically precise cuts that many tall, lithe current young generation would love to possess...
Gold discoball dress also made its way into this collection... Very Margiela of last two seasons methinks.
The only colour in the collection (well, besides shiny gold) is a shade of blue of what I think as cerulean (well, Tim Blanks said it was cobalt blue, thus I might be wrong altogether.) That hue was used in the men's suit and lady's ethereal dresses...
The design of the clothes are echoed in the accessories department with the black and gold leather clutches, bags, iPhone and Blackberry cases with triangular details. The bags also have the lining with similar print like on the clothes.

i like gp (and ro), but to be honest, i always wonder why they are described as "gothic". if its the analogy to cross-ribbed vaulting, it make sense. but the style in general would be more of cyberpunk or any kind of warrior futuro.
I am a huge fan of GP. Thanks for posting these pictures! Where did you take them from by the way?
Thanks a lot for sharing these photos. At first glance I hated this collection, but it has grown on me so much over the past few months that now I can almost say it is my favorite collection of the season. Can't wait to handle these in person. M
