Gareth Pugh AW09

It was a video presentation as opposed to the catwalk for Gareth Pugh at Paris fashion week. Starring model Natasa Vojnovic and created by cinematographer Ruth Hogben, the powerful footage communicated clearly why Pugh’s dramatic collections are so appealing – they exude empowerment. And during a time when strength is oozing from the catwalks Pugh’s recent collection fits in nicely. Black of course was Pugh’s colour of choice. Dresses and leather trousers with spikes, high-waisted trousers, metallic dresses, long skirts and capes were all worn by Natasa with thigh high boots, as she moves to the music.
