LONDON, United Kingdom — Acclaimed designer Gareth Pugh showed his last collection in September 2018. Two years on, he has returned to the industry at a time of global tumult. Its effects are clearly reflected in "The Reconstruction," a documentary made by Pugh, his husband Carson McColl and Showstudio director Nick Knight showcasing 13 new designs and the inspiration behind them.
“This project really has been born out of some insane historical moments,” said Pugh. “Twenty-twenty’s been a shitty year and so much has gone on,” he continued, adding he would be remiss “not to look it in the face and acknowledge its presence.”
