It’s been a few weeks into Fashion week all over the world. I thought I was going to just let it slip pass while I contemplate on the meaning of life/poop/get fat procrastinate and pretend I forgot all about it.

Then, I had to come across images of the Gareth Pugh F/W collection. My mind proceeds to get blown, constructing memes in my head like “GARETH PUGH, Y U SO AWESOME?”

This model walks like a samurai.

The collection is a perfect embodiment and demonstration of how the colour black is not boring as long as there is a play on textures and silhouette. The use of semi-shiny leather and matte fabric is simply godly.

Gareth Pugh’s style has always been very architectural and balancing the masculinity of structure with softness of drapes has always been his forte.

Sci-fi priest!! Or knight in civvies!!

If it’s a collection to jump-start me out of my procrastination, it has to be good. Thank you Gareth Pugh for getting me on Fashion Week mode. :D

The Fall/ Winter 2010 major fashion shows have passed for a while now, so it’s time to collate what we have seen so far.

Aside from the obvious that there is alot of black going on, there’s alot of attention to collar and lapel detailing this season. I love draped jacket lapels and it’s pretty evident that I’m all excited over the F/W 2010 fashion shows. It’s been a good season and I’m looking forward to seeing all these jackets on actual people.


Rad Hourani makes use of multiple lapels and lightweight wools.

Helmut Lang is no stranger to using the draped jacket lapel detailing in their collection, this season they went for something slightly heavier using wool linings.

It’s no secret that Haider Ackermann’s collection for Fall/Winter is my favourite. Their jacket detailing makes my jaw drop everytime I look at it.

Gareth Pugh decides to one-up everyone by making use of one of the materials that is a bitch to sew; leather. I obviously have a love/hate relationship with it.

Love or hate draped jacket lapels? What do you think are the notable Fall/Winter trends for 2010?

Hello everyone. I apologise for the sorry state of this blog. London was amazing, so much so that I completely forgot the existance of this blog that we ran out of posts. Dawn and I checked out Camden in our impossible high heeled boots, treading on stone pavements in the dreary and wet weather that is London.

I can’t believe I stopped at NYFW. There is so much to catch up now. Woeeeeeeeeeee.

So anyway, halfway between coming back from London and getting my ass to blogging, I developed some sort of an infection in my throat with medications that made me feel nauseous. I was basically sleeping most parts of the day akin to a Koala bear. I much prefer being productive. True story.

ANYWAY, I digress. Gareth Pugh. UNF.

When I first saw this collection it almost jolted me off my seat. I feel that this is one of the most wearable collection that Gareth Pugh has came up with so far. Also, leather as we all know, is sexy. It is also a bitch to sew. I do not envy whoever has to sew all those panels of leather together.

And I think we can all agree after looking at the countless runway pictures so far that jackets with big draped lapels will be all the rage in A/W 2010.

I should mention that I have a weakness for distressed knits, this look above just nailed it. Again, with us and the many dark crusaders of fashion with a penchant for wearing black, our options are limited to playing around with textures. I believe Gareth Pugh has demonstrated to us that Black is definitely not boring. It’s just a play of shiny and matte, textured and smooth.
