Fashion Week

First Look: Gareth Pugh

1392288291_3032d1856b.jpgWe have a lot to say about the mesmerizing madness of Gareth Pugh’s collection today - scrawled in our Smythson are “Gareth Pugh and the lost tribes of fashion?” and “OMG Elise Overland / Eowyn parallels” - but we’re getting ready for BoomBox and don’t have time.

Check back tomorrow morning for a full report, and in the meantime, we can tell you this:

It was the first London Fashion Week show that Anna Wintour watched this year.

Also on the bleachers:

Anna Piaggi, Henry Holland, The MisShapes, Cathy Horyn.

We were so excited, we cheered.

This coat is made from dead, stuffed rats. When it went down the runway, applause.

We found this vaguely militant.

Fashionista, I love you for showing these pictures first. If anyone deserves the anticipation and buzz a show is getting this year, it's Gareth. Delaying comment on his pieces (I'm sleepy), the balloon popping at the beginning was awesome.

PS: Faran, Colin MacDowell completely blocked you from view the entire time. Try to barter for an LFW seat-swap in return for Boombox photos for the Sunday Times. I think he'll go for it. :)
