British fashion designer Gareth Pugh takes inspiration from society's outcasts with his latest collection, which he describes as "uncompromising, anarchic and fiercely confrontational".

Pugh's Spring Summer 2019 collection, presented at the Old Selfridges Hotel during London Fashion Week, features a "riot of print and colour" with geometrically patterned morph suits, exaggerated tailoring and paramilitary boots.

The designer dedicated the show to his friend and mentor, stylist and punk icon Judy Blame, who passed away in February.

"Judy was uncompromising, ungovernable and fiercely anti-establishment. He was a creative extremist," said Pugh.

"He came up in the 1980s and 1990s, where much of culture was moving toward the shallow and the acquisitive. Dumbed-down, debased and dissociated from its primary purpose: creative expression," he continued. "Judy was a counterpoint to that."

“Wet: The Magazine of Gourmet Bathing, was possibly the most avant-garde publication of its time. Based in Venice, California, and the brainchild of architecture school graduate Leonard Koren, Wet was nominally 'about' the art of washing, swimming, and public bathing, but it became a cult for its inventiveness and dynamic page design."Wet reflected the spirit that defined the radical West Coast look of the 1970s," enthuses the respected American graphic designer Jennifer Morla, of Morla Design. "It was graphically arresting, unique in its use of illustration, colour, and photography."

When history repeats itself, its due to society's disconcerting interest with previous generations. Eventually, it all catches up to our reality. There’s no way to escape reality.

Rhythm. /

Rhythm is the repetition or alternation of elements, often with defined intervals between them. Rhythm can create a sense of movement, and can establish pattern and texture. There are many different kinds of rhythm, often defined by the feeling something evokes when viewed.

A regular rhythm occurs when the intervals between the elements, and often the elements themselves, are similar in size or length. A flowing rhythm gives a sense of movement, and is often more organic in nature. A progressive rhythm shows a sequence of forms through a progression of steps.

Good design adds value of some kind and, incidentally, could be sheer pleasure; it respects the viewer-his sensibilities-and rewards the entrepreneur...A well designed logo, in the end is a reflection of the business it symbolizes...It says "We care."

Paul Rand, "Logos, Flags, and Escutcheons", 1991
