We have a lot to say about the mesmerizing madness of Gareth Pugh’s collection today – scrawled in our Smythson are “Gareth Pugh and the lost tribes of fashion?” and “OMG Elise Overland / Eowyn parallels” – but we’re getting ready for BoomBox and don’t have time.
Check back tomorrow morning for a full report, and in the meantime, we can tell you this:
It was the first London Fashion Week show that Anna Wintour watched this year.
Also on the bleachers:
Anna Piaggi, Henry Holland, The MisShapes, Cathy Horyn.
We were so excited, we cheered.

The opening look from the show.

A Gareth Pugh headdress.

The same look from the side.

Gown and / or totem pole.

Cathy Horyn and Colin McDowell watch Gareth’s take on shoulder pads.

This coat is made from dead, stuffed rats. When it went down the runway, applause.

We found this vaguely militant.

Gareth Pugh’s lady sovereign.
