Gareth Pugh is a British fashion designer known for his dark, theatrical, and avant-garde designs that blur the line between fashion and performance art. His work explores themes of identity, transformation, and the darker aspects of human nature.
Based in London, Pugh creates collections that are more like wearable sculptures, often featuring dramatic silhouettes, architectural forms, and a predominantly black palette. His shows are renowned for their theatrical presentations and artistic collaborations.
