Gareth Pugh's Elizabethan and Shakespearian Couture Paris Fashion Week kicked off over the weekend with the quaint and very dramatic Spring/Summer collection by English fashion designer Gareth Pugh. Inspired by William Shakespeare (1564—1616), Queen Elizabeth I (1533—1603) and John Everett Millais’ painting of a drowning woman named Ophelia (c.1851), Pugh’s collection is rife with Elizabethan ruff collars, multi-layered skin-tight dresses and other equally dramatic outfits, all in monochromatic black and white. I thought I’d end this article with some kind of Shakespearean line but that’d be kind of lame. References: catwalkqueenComment: on 16th Century Chic |
