Charles Fréger. Portraits in lace: Breton Women







Charles Fréger's new book called 'Portraits in Lace: Breton Women' a very exciting collection of images of Breton women from every generation and region. 
The book features fifty headdresses, each is introduced and described in a separate reference section with specially commissioned illustrations. I always love Charles Fréger's projects and his interest and exposure of what is left of European folk traditions, dress and costume.

Gareth Pugh I





Gareth Pugh's SS2015 ready to wear collection is steeped in folk tradition and looks like many of the European folk costumes documented by French Photographer, Charles Freger in his Wilderman project.

" The handwork, the ceremonial aspects, the playful and sometimes outlandish practices, and the unnerving notion of an outsider society, all deeply resonate with me " Gareth Pugh

Gareth Pugh in this collection has created stunning, archaic drama and theater a collection to really mark his decade in the industry.
