This kind of hurts my eyes, tbh.
I like Gareth, I like his triangles and quilted things and some of the coats here look truly great. But there's a lot of rubbish here, as Merz put it, that starts to overshadow the good design ideas. I mean, spiky nails and shredded leggings? Really!!??? I'm quite surprised to see something so cliched and obvious from him.
his past work is filled with cliches.
This is not to say that he hasn't done anything of
interest, but you have to scrape a lot away to
find it.Are you afraid of women, Doctor?
Of course.

i wouldn't say hype,but ro's fw collection reminded me a quote from Ezekiel 25:17:
"from The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee!"

As for your quip about Owens being all hype I don't even have to answer it as it is, so far, entirely unsupported and made without the slightest acknowledgment of the additions he's made to his design vocabularySelling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.

Pugh is trading within highly comfortable connotations,
I know you like there structures.
I'll take you and Faust to the Rick Owens thread,
there are so many great celeb photos, that
will come in handy!

As for RO I don't see how celebs wearing his stuff makes his last show any less good. Do you stop listening to your fav band when they make it big and how big are we talking anyway, this is RO not Dior Homme.Selling CCP, Harnden, Raf, Rick etc.

I agree that popularity doesn't make the clothes any better or worse, but it does changes the meaning of wearing it. Stopping here, I'm not going to beat a dead horse.
