Gareth Pugh, Blockhead

Manolo says, call the Manolo jaded, but the black-leather, fetish-wear novelty of Gareth Pugh has begun to wear thin.

Look, she is like the frilly, black-leather bird!

In the ass-less mini pants!

    Am I the only person who remembers having seen that bare-assed birdy in “The Dark Crystal?”




  2. Lori Says:

    Is the, uh, hat supposed to keep the model from chewing off the crystals?




  3. Judith in Umbria Says:

    I agree that he seems to be working too hard to remain the enfant terrible of London fashion. After a couple of shows, he ought to be up to designing clothes by now. And he isn’t. If Hillary didn’t like him so much, I think he’d be looking hard for backers.




  4. Toby Wollin Says:

    You know, when I see stuff like this, it always makes me wonder if these designers even LIKE women.




  5. Texasexile Says:

    I have to ask . . . who buys this stuff?

    That reminds me, I must order my tickets for the 2007/2008 Mummenschanz world tour.

    That first one looks like one of the bizarre stage costumes Peter Gabriel used to wear in the `70s, especially that boxy thing. All she needs is a cape and some blacklight-sensitive makeup!




  8. Eilish Says:

    It’s just so…shocking. I am so shocked. Really I am. Shocked.

    I have to agree with Mr. Wollin’s statement. When did putting (in effect) a paper bag over women’s faces become something desirable?
