London Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Gareth Pugh Says "I Cut You"

Holy shit! It's raining Goth samurai robots over at Gareth Pugh! The whole thing is sinister, crazy, vicious, almost completely unwearable -- but kind of scarily awe-inspiring, in the same way that listening to Japanese noise can be. It's all about thanatos, kids. And what can I say? I'm kind of Goth-y so naturally I adored the whole thing, and one can't deny that Pugh has the incredible talent to even engineer the complexity of some of this construction. How deep can one mine this particular vein remains to be seen, but till we reach that deep, dark end, I'm kind of taken away by this totally fierce nutter:

Seeing the Gareth Pugh pics made me a bit flabbergasted and unable to render coherent thought on some other shows. There was sophistication (Richard Nicoll), simple elegance (Nicole Farhi), utter chic (Roksanda Ilincic) and great squishy fun (Louise Gray). But dudes...Goth samurai robots. You just can't get that out of your mind so easily, you know?
