As a designer myself I am often look at Aitor Throup or Garrith Pugh as two of my favorites. Garrith Pugh, because his designs are off the wall and bizarre yet exquisitely executed. His garments are far out but believable at the same time. Most people think, I would never wear that, but this is the type of design that inspires other ready wear designers. I really like those designers that are inspiring other designers.
Some designers look at past designs for inspiration, and there are even designers that look back to their own designs and find new inspirations. You hear some designers say, don’t copy my designs, but in away it is a compliment to have someone look at your work and be inspired by it. I love to see a design come down the runway that makes you think… I have seen that before but I can’t quite put my finger on where it was.
These types of fashions are truly innovative and you will see them filter down through seasons, to other designer’s collections. This is just a few reasons why these are my favorites.
