THUMBS UP: GARETH PUGH

THUMBS UP

GARETH PUGH

Described as visionary, futurist and sometimes over-the-limit, the English designer Gareth Pugh has shown, through his collections, how hard is working and how he's grown in the last few years. 

Starting his carreer as as a costume designer for the English National Youth theatre at the very early age of 14 years old,  finished his degree in Fashion Design at Central Saint Martins in 2003. His talent has shown at once, when his final collection at St. Martins attracted the attention of the fashion editor of Dazed and Confused who placed one of his designs on the magazine's cover. Thanks to that Pugh reached immediate popolarity and was selected to participate in British reality show The Fashion House two months after his graduation. 

Pugh's first solo premiere was in Fall's London 2006 fashion week and since then he has started working as designer at large. 

He had the opportunity to dress Kylie Minogue in her Showgirl - The Greatest Hits Tour, followed by Showgirl - The Homecoming Tour.

But Kylie is not the only star wearing Pugh's outfits: Beyoncé wore Pugh at the MTV Europe Awards in 2008, and for her Diva video. Singer Lady Gaga recently wore a jacket designed by Pugh at the Wango Tango concert 2009 and many other pieces.
