Gareth Pugh

Gareth Pugh is an English fashion designer whose work has been described as the “latest addition to a long tradition of fashion-as-performance- art that stretches back through Alexander McQueen, John Galliano and Vivienne Westwood to the eighties club culture of Leigh Bowery.”

Born 1981, Pugh started his fashion career early, working as a costume designer for the English National Youth Theatre aged 14. He studied for a Fashion Design degree at Central Saint Martins and went on to intern with Rick Owens in Paris. Pugh’s end of year work at St Martins caught the attention of the senior fashion editor of Dazed & Confused magazine and one of his designs was soon after on the cover.

Pugh’s work is recognised by its form and volume. He alters the human body shape through clothes to create outfits that almost resemble structures.
