Gareth Pugh: A/W09 fashion videos

I love this video of Gareth Pugh's A/W09 collection, a very interesting theatrical fashion video with creative ways of using black and white images. I also love how he uses all the leather, plastic balloon like materials and make into very sharp and edgy clothes. Video made by Ruth Hogben

Gareth Pugh: multi-talented designer SHOWoff

Gareth Pugh, a very talented British designer who started as a costume designer at age 14, later attended Saint Martins for fashion design before staging his shows. Here, he is using his own body as performing object to showcase his different moods and feelings prior to the opening of Couture Week in 2006. I really like the human disco ball. His collection is always inspirational.

Slim Stymest

Gone are the days of typical male model with washboards abs and muscular body. Ash Stymest is currently one of the top model that is cool and edgy. He is first used by Hedi Slimane for his personal projects which he was known for Dior Homme slim silhoutte a few years back. Tattoos, skinny body, skater and drummer are some of the personal traits of Ash.

Neil Barrett interview : "Precision“

One of my favorite designer Neil Barrett had an interview with New Yooxer in his Milan design studio. A beautiful well organized studio space. I love the fact that his clothes are very wearable with lots of great designing that are influenced by materials and shapes. The approach of core design concept always start from using different methods in designing the garments. In SP/SU 2010, his indentation idea of applying leather on shirts, jackets and pants is another excellent ideas in forming the overall concept for the season.

In most fashion design studios here in Taiwan or elsewhere where chaotic and disorganized activity pretty much dominate the scene; but if you see the shows here, the show looks are very well organized and precise. All the models has their own look starting from make up, hair, outfit, accessories and even the cat walk sequence. All the details are being carefully thought out, displayed and marked with cardboard signs and photographs. In fashion design process, it is very important to be precise and clear. It is a design philosophy that here at Studio Lifequartet believes. Therefore for every collaboration or design services, our goal is to seek for creative method during the design process and eventually arrive at absolute conceptual clarity.
