While Gareth Pugh may not be a designer well-known to the American fashion world, he sought to change that with his Fall 2016 Ready-to-wear collection that focused on female fatale empowerment.
Cobalt blue was the name of the game, with models wearing fitted blazer-dresses and hats in the shade along with white stars to evoke a sense of feminine patriotism; perhaps as a satirical gesture to the world of politics and immersion of feminism and modernity within the 21st century.
He dressed his models in vibrant neutrals and cobalt blue, strutting down the runway in well-executed and tailored power suits with flared pants paired with fitted blouses and blazers.
Sticking to a well form-fitting style aesthetic, he broadened his stylistic choices this collection by attenuating flares in the hems and pants, accenting outfits with eccentric and over-the-top capes and coats to pair with tight leatherette wrapped pencil skirts, plunging neckline blazers and otherwise neutral ensembles.
