How to Look Crazy Real Fast: Head Gear at Gareth Pugh


Most of the models at the Gareth Pugh show scared the crap out of me. Pasty grey make up and an unsettling evil stare made them look quite zombie-esque, if zombies were impeccably dressed in slick, modern, almost start trek inspired suiting. It was as if Pugh was letting us know what chic dressing would be in the future. The star of the show however, was clearly the head pieces. Beginning with thick charcoal headbands and little black beak-like caps and progressing to an enormous, and rather dangerous looking, double fan structure fastened to either side of the model's head. For me it conjured a distinct image of a frilled lizard. Perhaps centuries from now human's will be equipped with defense mechanisms such as this. In the meantime, I can't wait to see what celebrities attempt to wear this for-runway-only look in real life (my money's on GaGa), and who loses an eye.
