Backstage Gareth Pugh: Scarlet dresses and "crying" models

The backstage of Gareth Pugh is in the tiny (especially for such a team) premises of Palais du Tokyo. I try to infiltrate through the crowd of designers, makeup artists, assistants and models so as not to hurt anyone. It turns out badly.

Near the numerous rails with clothes, apparently, the animal instinct works - I run to the red. The rest on the hangers does not look as impressive as on the models. Only details attract attention: an untreated hem on a light dress or a perforation on a leather jacket. The cut here is difficult to make out.

Having grieved about what she saw more and more quickly than the audience, and throwing a pair of spoilers to you, I run into the make-up sector. Models run late with me because of the previous show - a team of professionals rushes at them from the doorway. One paints eyes, another - lips, the third - toenails. At this time, the girls are trying to somehow relax and chew an apple or play an ipad.

We surround the main make-up artist of the show and just a pretty woman Alex Box. “We wanted to make a very sensual make-up, to show a girl who cried all the tears in her grief. Remember David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive? His heroine sang a Crying song with a droplet painted under the lower eyelid. So one of the models will also have such a ".

Not far from us, the culprit of the festival - Gareth Pugh. He is trying to control all the processes taking place in this small room: “Did you want to ask me something? Can I help you somehow?” But the team continues to cut off the extra threads, shoe models, lay out accessories, shaking their heads. Don't worry, Gareth. You already otmuchil his.
