Let's end the work week on a pretty note, shall we?Style.com waxes poetic:
"If, once upon a time (the fairy-tale connotations are unavoidable), a Pugh show was all about the Beast, this time the focus was on Beauty. But she was eerie, a postapocalyptic princess. The first outfit—an unstructured trench belted over a floating chiffon dress in tone-on-tone shades of gray—set the mood, along with wrapped heads, makeup that shaded the models' faces as though they'd walked through an ash cloud, and a Matthew Stone soundtrack that featured a stentorian interpretation of the theme from Requiem for a Dream (required listening for all aficionados of glamorous doom). Pugh's experimentation with fabrics was as obsessive as ever, with feather-light tops, dresses, and pants that were micro-pleated or woven or slashed in crepe or chiffon. But the effect was a kind of moon-glow lightness, rather than the alien articulation his clothes once relied on. And when there was extreme structure, it was effectively used, as in lapels that unfurl the more they are unzipped on a cape-backed dress."
Okay, maybe "pretty" isn't the first word that springs to mind upon viewing this collection, but there's certainly an eerie romanticism going on. We love this collection for its shapes and textures. We wish the color palette wasn't so drab, but you can't have everything, now can you?
We don't know...it's certainly not to everyone's tastes, but we just like looking at it. Dammit, it IS pretty. In its own way.
