The collection was entitled "Save Our Souls", so I can only assume the flimsily-clad nurses at the beginning of the show were fully qualified in soul first aid. Inventive spandex bodysuits are Pam Hogg's thing - and a thing she does very well indeed, though they're sadly not particularly wearable for us normos (Manchester may be an open-minded city but I would still get a few funny looks, and the rest, walking around Sainsbury's in one of the geometric suits. Might be alright for Canal Street mind) - but wedding attire was clearly at the forefront of her mind when creating this collection, with tulle confections smattering the runway, complete with Elizabeth I-esque headpieces. Granted they'd have to be tweaked before you ever went near a church in them - there's nipples and side-boobs galore - but at least you wouldn't look like a sickly meringue.
Check out Alice Dellal modelling for Pam, plus Jo Wood, Kate Nash, and Jaime Winstone (sat next to Charlotte Gush - that girl is smashing it) on the front row. Most shows at fashion week are full of wearable collections, of which you think "that was nice.. but where's the imagination?" The Pam Hogg show was a real show and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. To phrase it in a rather twattish Grazia way, this show was definitely my fashion moment of the season.

Nudity Is Dignity and the ones who believe this and work with no clothes limits on mind, the ones who do not censor body parts to create new ways of human expression, they are the greatest, the ones who open new paths to human evolution.
ReplyDeleteCreate fashion with no clothes limits. Fashion artists cant be the censors of human body trating it like a dirty enemy by a pure spirit, cause that way of thinking is only from bad spirits. Body and souls are ONE, and body must be seen like human natural truth improved in beauty, but never censored trying to make thing there are bad parts to avoid.
Pam is a great one beginning the new way.
I saw photos of that wedding dress in the daily mail! Otherwise I don't think I would have recognized the designer. It must have been a fun show. The wild clothes are always the most fun, but I don't see how any of it could be worn anywhere. I mean, Los Anglees is very much anything goes in terms of body exposure and those outfits would raise eyebrows here. They al,ost look more like movie or stage costumes than clothing. I'm just basing my comments on your photos (videos take too long to load on my I pad) but it would be interesting to see how the designer would more some of her ideas into wearable outfits.

Well, how rude, I don't believe those spandex suits would suit Canal Street. Perhaps Deansgate Locks, a la Morph suit. x
