sew hmmm...











Gareth Pugh debuted his Fall 2009 Collection this week, and it's quite interesting to say the least. I know I hated on him in my previous blog about him bringing back the two-tones, but I actually like this.. this all black, gothic looks with straight lines and amazingly tailored leather jackets. Look closely.. the patterns are deep and so intricate. This collection really gives off an almost Matrix feel, but taken to the next level with a hint of grunge and layer. Out of all the menswear Fall collections, I'm really liking Mr. Gareth's the best. His collection is a borderline "technical masterpiece." And there's word he might become the head designer for Dior? Hmmm.. But again, I'm lovin the head accessories! A lot of designers seem to really be going for dark colors with a spice of goth? One could ask, is the recession being reflected in designs now, or is fashion just finally catching up with my taste and style? ha ha :)




Oh, on the total opposite end of the spectrum, I just learned today that Stella McCartney uses only organic cotton and fibers in her collections. She's my hero.

Too bad most of this stuff will never see a clothing store. I'd love to try on a few of the Jackets, but my guess the only mens store in the States that will pick this up is going to be Seven. Maybe I'll see some in paris...

On a side note, you should kop some of the female leggings.
