Today is the day Gareth Pugh would normally be showing in Paris. Instead, he staged that enormous "immersive presentation" in New York, so Paris had to make do with some one-on-ones in the showroom. Actually, it worked out really well, because today was the autumn equinox, and Pugh's collection was fully informed by the pagan rituals attached to such calendar watersheds. Although in this case, it was obviously the rites of spring he had in mind. "I've had 10 years of doing this, and my last season in Paris I hit the reset button," said Pugh. "It felt like the end of something signaling the beginning of something else. That's why the phoenix is in the film." (That film, along with the others made for New York, can be viewed on Style.com.)
