Gareth Pugh, Paris SS10: Backstage

Friday, October 30th, 2009

We recently blogged of the talented Pugh’s menswear, now feast your eyes on Women’s!

We’re intrigued by the silver hues, ashen faces and bird-like head dresses. He’s definitely sharing the same umbrella with Rick Owens.

Gareth’s show was very well receieved and we can see why…

Every shot tells a story.

Maison Martin Margiela SS10

Monday, October 26th, 2009

A good Margiela runway presentation always includes deliberate confusion, and this show was no exception. The first Martin Margiela show since Margiela himself anounced he was to leave his post as artistic director from the noted fashion house. The clothes were more colorful than expected. Think hues of teals and greens, coppers and and even some bright multi-colored, eye catching pieces. The one feature that was consistent, was the slouchy paper bag boots that completed most looks.

As the show concluded, a model emerged wearing a white gown with a train as long as the runway and stood at the end while the others did the finale walking over it. Then everyone left the venue as they knew there was no designer coming out to take a bow.

Here at 4, we are excited to announce that we will be stocking Martin Margiela’s Line 13 “White Objects”, an interesting collection of white themed homeware due in store shortly.

We also stock Margiela’s ultra limited edition motorbike hemet in collororation with Les Ateliers Ruby.
