Gareth Pugh jobs

Gareth Pugh is a British fashion label, that now is based in London. It was founded by Gareth Pugh and his business partner Michele Lamy. Born in Sunderland, Gareth Pugh studied on the Art Foundation course at City of Sunderland College and completed his degree in Fashion Design at Central St Martins in 2003. During a work placement assisting Rick Owens at luxury furrier Revillon, Pugh met Michelle Lamy, the Parisian fashion consultant largely responsible for the commercial ascent of the Owens label. In the Autumn of 2006, Lamy became official backer to Pugh, their collaboration marking a more luxurious direction in his work with the introduction of cashmere, leather and mink to collections. Since 2006 Gareth Pugh has shown at London Fashion Week. In July 2008, the designer scooped the ANDAM Fashion Award, winning himself 150,000 euros and a show in Paris in the process. In September, he presented his first show in Paris, followed by his first menswear show in Paris in January 2009. His first standalone store opened in Hong Kong in August 2010. Gareth Pugh clothes can be found at Browns in London, Colette in Paris, Seven, Barneys and Bergdorf Goodman in New York.
