What Lucia Did: Gareth Pugh For Mac
Gareth Pugh opened his show with a model dressed in a candy-striped dress, strutting to the strains of Merry Clayton's solo in 'Gimme Shelter' ('Rape, murder, it's just a shot away') on a runway bordered by hundreds of one pence coins. The designer said the choice of the location, a car park in Soho on a Saturday night, reminded him of when he came to this city as a youth and 'the feeling of danger, of euphoria, of danger and possibility' he found here. That song, and particularly Ms. Clayton's solo, 'and the way she sang with such abandon,' the designer said in the show notes, 'points to the show's central conceit that the spirit of Soho is among us, and in need of urgent protection.' — Stuart Emmrich. Carol Lim and Humberto Leon of Opening Ceremony first made names for themselves as harbingers of cool with their concept store.

From its seriously chic, black patent geometric packaging to the sinister but inviting colours contained within, Gareth Pugh’s long-awaited make-up range from MAC Cosmetics was never going to be for the shrinking violet. Over seven years, Pugh has staked out his territory as a designer with an.
On Tuesday night, the duo held a dinner with Samsung at the L'Atelier des Artistes, and reinforced those credentials by flying over the rising star Angela Dimayuga, executive chef of Mission Chinese, to cook for a small group of fashion insiders. 'When we throw a party, we want it to feel real and authentic,' said Mr. Leon, who, alongside Ms. Kim, unveiled their spring collection for Kenzo on Sunday. 'We want people to eat and dance the way we like to eat and dance, and that's why we brought her over here to Paris.' 'Angela is our friend and we are obsessed with her cooking, so it was the perfect choice. We wanted tonight to feel true to our brand wherever we are in the world.'
Guests sampled intriguing dishes ranging from tingling cucumbers and lotus root, Chongqing chicken wings with explosively spicy chili, and rice porridge with raw egg yolk and beef tartare. Later the party moved downstairs to a subterranean club - with a bathtub in the middle of the floor - where James Blake played a set. — Elizabeth Paton. Balenciaga has a gritty new look. On Wednesday, the final day of Paris Fashion Week, the French luxury group Kering announced it had appointed Demna Gvasalia, head designer of the underground cult collective Vetements, as artistic director of the former couture house. Gvasalia, a 34-year-old Georgian, becomes the third creative director of Balenciaga in the last four years. His appointment comes at a crucial time for the brand, which is included in Kering’s smaller luxury brands group, along with names such as Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen, but which has an outsize fashion presence, thanks to its name and history.

Seated a few spots down from Valentino on the front row was the tennis star Maria Sharapova, who took five minutes to talk to Styles before the show began.
What brings you to Paris? I was in Germany and realized there was a two-day window in my schedule. I've never been to Paris Fashion Week before - so here I am! And what shows have you seen so far? I was at Stella McCartney yesterday, then Chanel earlier this morning. This will be my last show.
Does attending these sorts of shows affect your decisions on what you wear, either on or off the court? That said, my state of mind varies quite drastically depending on where I am and what I'm doing. When I'm playing, I always go for clean lines and distinctive silhouettes.
But in my day-to-day life I'm always on the road, so my lifestyle governs my wardrobe: Think soft, simple separates that are easily layered and pack easily. What else do you like to do in Paris when you visit? I eat, of course, as so many visitors do. But actually, I don't often go to French places. There's a small family-run Italian restaurant with just 10 tables that I love, called La Corte. And a Japanese joint called Tamara, where the quality of the sushi is out of this world.
And what's next for you after the show? A trip to the airport then back to the U.S. I have one last tournament to play in Singapore in a few weeks' time, so I need to get back and keep training.
— Elizabeth Paton. It was inspired by the living tree bridges in India. The centerpiece was a trio of machines from an Austrian robotics brand covered in a spiky gray-black latex-like material that resembled a volcanic lunar landscape but had been magnetically “grown” by the Dutch artist Jolan van der Wiel and then sewn into socklike garments by Ms. Van Herpen’s studio.
During the show, the robots 3D-printed woven root-like lacings around the actress Gwendoline Christie, who plays Brienne of Tarth in 'Game of Thrones' and who was lying silently on a plinth-like structure in their midst. Christie met Ms Van Herpen in Amsterdam in April of this year after discovering her work on the Internet, and they hatched the plan. She said she was interested in the way Ms.
Van Herpen “explores ideas of design that go beyond clothing to what makes up our human structure,” and had always thought it was only a matter of time before Ms. Van Herpen made something that actually was alive.
Gareth Pugh Collections
From Left to Right: MAC 182 Brush (2006 Couture Limited Edition), MAC Gareth Pugh 182 Brush (Couture Limited Edition), MAC 109 Brush (pictured just for size comparison) MAC limited edition products usually sell like hot cakes; however, most of the products from their couture line are currently still available for purchase. I'm assuming it's because many people are turned off by the price. The from their permanent line is $49.50 and the Gareth Pugh one is $60; however, I don't mind paying an extra $10.50 just for the special handle because the quality of the couture version is excellent and it looks more attractive than the regular version. Although the bristles are dense, it's not 'too dense' for applying setting powder. I still get a light coverage and it doesn't give me a cakey finish. This brush is also great for buffing in mineral or powder foundation if you don't want heavy coverage.
However, if you want better coverage, I recommend purchasing the Sephora #43 because the bristles are more densely packed. (Note: The denser the brush, the more coverage you'll get.) I also love using the Gareth Pugh brush to buff out over-applied blush. When compared to the MAC 182 2006 Couture Limited Edition brush ( ), the Gareth Pugh version is slightly denser and softer. Also, the head of the brush is less wider. They both perform basically the same during application; however, I prefer to use the Gareth Pugh version for buffing out over-applied products since the bristles are slightly denser. The main difference between these two brushes is the appearance & the weight of the handle. The Gareth Pugh is slightly more heavy & it gets dirty easily with fingerprints.

Also, when I first got the 2006 version, it didn't shed. However, now it sheds one hair after each wash. The Gareth Pugh version hasn't shed yet, but I will post an update if it starts to. As for maintenance, it can be difficult to wash without getting the handle wet.

(When water gets into the ferrule, the glue loosens and that causes the bristles to shed. Therefore, you should never dry brushes standing upright.) Instead of deep cleaning the whole brush head, you could spot clean it.
(Spray some brush cleanser onto a piece of paper towel and then rub your brush onto the towel until all the product gets out.) However, I don't really like this method because it doesn't clean as well as the traditional way.
