Gorgeous and ethereal as always…
The past collides with the future in an explosion of excitement as Pugh shows for the first time in Paris. It’s what you’ve come to expect from his shows just bigger and better! The music, the venue and the standing ovation that came at the end meant he has found his runway home…for now. Click HERE to see the Style.com video of Gareth and fans like Jefferson Hack explaining the collection -it’s also necessary to see these pieces in movement.
The Army of M.E. is being naughty again -we should be covering Paris but, seriously, that’s what Style.com is for -plus they get paid to do so :). Our fault is being focused on this election, the debates, and the ginormous success of our debate:watch event. We’ve been asked to move forward with arranging these events for the remaining debates -the most hysterical of which will take place tonight. People had so much fun on Friday that the response has already quadrupled! We feel great about doing this so we hope you’ll forgive The Army of M.E. for our recent lack of posting love.
One of the most anticipated shows of Paris fashion week is Gareth Pugh’s Parisian debut which took place yesterday -full shots in a later post.

Below is COACD’s video from the show -it’s quite amazing!

-The Army of M.E. & StyleRepublik hosted a brilliant debate:watch event on Friday -thanks to the Tribeca Grand Hotel. It was such a success we are planning to do a debate:watch for the remaining debates. We will post the invite as soon as it is designed.
-While we were cheering and jeering the two presidential candidates, most of the fashion world were on flights to Paris. That ’s right, it’s our favorite fashion week -Paris! As I’m sure you noticed, we didn’t cover Milan. We actually love some of the shows there like Pucci, Alessandro Dell’Acqua and Bottega Veneta but we chose not to highlight our favorite looks this season. Go to Style.com for all their comprehensive coverage.
