>> Gareth Pugh doesn't currently participate in couture, but he recently took a crack at a showstopping bridal gown — for his best friend and longtime collaborator, stylist Katie Shillingford, who was married last Friday. Shillingford wed Alex Dromgoole in the 1930s Art Deco-style Eltham Palace of Greenwich, England, wearing a custom pale grey slashed chiffon Pugh dress, complete with a trail that hung from her shoulders and a veil created by Stephen Jones.
Shillingford's bridesmaids — including Dazed & Confused and Another's Karen Langley, who helped design the wedding cake — wore black striped knitted dresses by Craig Lawrence, and Shillingford changed in a Fall 2011 Gareth Pugh gold dress and Fall 2011 Miu Miu shoes for the reception.
