Phew Gareth Pugh, AW09, like it. His collection was really conceptual and arty in the taste of a Top-manner. There was all this amazing power goat-fur, metallic macs, Edward Scissor hand accessories, Chain mail, denim-ripped-to-shreds and Hellraiser-type pins on trousers, angular pagoda shoulders, scary robe type jackets, super skinny suits (and he is a fan of the leggings) apparently he based his collection on his love of Schwarzenegger's (amazing) film predator, explains the whole geometry and sci-fi attitude.
I love it, its posh and eerie, futuristic grunge!! I really like the doc martens, unisex, punk aesthetic, it's all the right bits of now with all the best bits of later. In another dimension, I can't see these pieces being on best seller rails in Topman, planet earth. Perhaps with the right concentration they have bits and pieces of metallic, studded footwear, the drape, the drape, the drape, ties around the tops, hell raiser leather, probably those dreaded shredded leggings, XXX fitted suits, and the goat-fur... maybe baby.
