GARETH PUGH S/S 10 FILM PREQUEL

the giant cube

On a suspended giant cube, four distinct ideas of Pugh's S/S 10 collection were presented

[...It was always going to be hard to know what to expect from Gareth Pugh's second film directed by Ruth Hogben, which was presented last night at New York's Milk Studios as part of M.A.C. and Milk's collaboration this season. It could not possibly have been a fashion film given that his show in Paris was going to be taking place in a few weeks time. Instead, in the loading bay, on a giant suspended cube, four extracted ideas of the collection were presented on the four facets, representing elements of fire, wind, earth and water. As new-agey as that sounds, it needs to be seen to be fully understood (film now live on SHOWstudio) as even Pugh admitted it was a hard piece to describe in words. For those familiar with Pugh's work, it is an enticing ensemble piece that does exactly what it set out to do; prequel the show. For those not so familiar, they might have taken away an essence or a mood of what Pugh's aesthetic is all about....]

for shoe lovers<3

"...There is dynamism, a high degree of abstraction and a reconciliation between architecture, technology and nature in Kerrie Luft’s footwear. Inspired by Art Nouveau, Luft’s shoes display a peculiar fascination with movement and at times recall in their elaborate yet delicate heels the work of French architect Hector Guimard or the furniture of interior designer and decorator Eugène Gaillard..."

Plastics by givenchy

the page above is from july's US VOGUE. editor virginia smith presents those colourful PVC gladiator sandal + is totally enthousiastic about them

Riccardo Tisci from Givenchy says " i wanted this shoe to be more accessible in terms of price and practicality, they are comfortable, colourful and under $200"

is it just me? i'm sorry guys but i just can't get it! has the world gone mad? it's plastic! don't get me wrong, i totally like the sandals but again it's plastic. the price alone is not a problem- sure we can spend $170 and buy designer shoes- but $170 for PVC?
