Gareth Pugh’s Trim Jacket

futurist lines and detailing. m.

“Pugh continues to experiment with form and volume, the garments in his collections are truly wearable sculptures. The Trim Jacket, from pugh’s latest collection is a clever example of this. The jacket is an open-fronted draped overcoat with padded shoulders and scoop pockets on the inside. Even though the jacket is masterfully constructed of numerous types of fabrics, (wool, cotton, lambskin, spandex, and rayon) the solid two toned colors and edgy angular construction makes this piece a relevant urban overcoat!”

The Melbourne-based studio’s design, which was named World Interior of the Year 2015 at Inside Festival last month, features thousands of planks of reclaimed wood that are fixed around the walls and ceiling with steel rods.

“The brief here was to use recycled materials,” says March Studio director Eggleston. “We looked at ways of creating almost an instant patina, something that already had character and age.”

March Studio sourced most of the wood for the project directly from the site of the hotel itself.
