Gareth Pugh s/s 11






I found this video very inspirational, it has been very creatively put together and a very entertaining way to watch the latest fashion collection by Gareth Pugh.

Concept Photoshoot


A Royal Affair

Kate Middleton was married to Prince William on Friday in a white gown by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen.

“The lace applique for the bodice and skirt was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, with individual flowers hand-cut from lace (in shapes of roses, thistle, daffodils and shamrocks). The dress is made of ivory and white satin gazar with a skirt in the shape of an opening flower. The satin bodice, narrowed at the waist and padded at the hips in a McQueen signature, is based on Victorian corsetry. The back is finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons" release from Clarence House

Kate also wore a 1936 Cartier tiara, lent to Ms. Middleton by the Queen. (It was bought for her mother by the Duke of York and presented to Queen Elizabeth on her 18th birthday.)





Trend Analysis

Silhouette development

This is two portfolio boards created from a movement photoshoot, where the images were used as templates for fashion illustration.

THE TRAVELLING SHOW


The gypsy way of life has been a source for inspiration for this collection, with an insight into the romantic, colourful, slightly dangerous but exciting group of characters with eclectic ethnicity. Loud religious prints are joined by a lively colour palette, with twisted layering and flowing chiffons to keep in theme for spring summer 2013.
