Gareth Pugh Throughlines | Christie's

Gareth Pugh is one of British fashion’s most daring designers. Born in Sunderland in 1981, he graduated from Central St Martins before launching his eponymous label in 2005. He has since shown at Paris, London and NY Fashion Weeks, collaborated with such prestigious institutions as the Opera Garnier and the Met’s Costume Institute, and received global recognition for his approach to redefining modern luxury.
In 2018, Pugh and his long-time partner and co-creative director Carson McColl founded Hard + Shiny, a London-based creative studio specialising in fashion, film, stage design and experiential entertainment.
‘I think it’s really important to have an eye for what’s gone before in order to reinvent what the future might look like,’ Pugh says. ‘Historical fashion is something that we look at time and time again.’
Here, Jonquil O’Reilly, a specialist in the Christie’s Old Master Paintings department, talks to Pugh about the impact classic art has on his formidable creative output.
