Gareth Pugh to Bergdorf’s?

pughs.jpg
On Saturday, during a talk as part of Tomorrow Unlimited’s ‘Creator Series,’ London-based designer Gareth Pugh discussed living as a squatter in abandoned buildings with his art collective, WOWOW!

He explained how it’s pretty easy to dumpster-dive for food. He talked about sewing his first four collections on the sewing machine his mother got as a wedding present thirty years ago, and how nothing from any of those collections made it to production.

And then he revealed that his latest F/W collection is being made in Rick Owen’s Italian factory and that Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman have already placed orders.

Seriously: wow.

Or, okay, WOWOW!

Faran, I think these new gals are trying to come off as witty as you are. I think it is silly. You are an excellent writer, and you have these knockoffs.....

Mmm... On her first day, our intern found out from Gareth that he's finally getting sold by Barneys and Bergdorf - even British Vogue hasn't reported that yet. She's great. xo.

It is not about the content, it is about the writing! Wowow?

I just see these wannabe Faran clones.....

It is a compliment to you, Faran, that you are not easily replaceable or duplicated.
