Pierre Garroudi Fashion on the Catwalk

Set in-between 3 metre thick walls, within the Victorian railway arches, Pierre Garroudi’s gallery opens doors to celebrate the London Fashion Week.

22 stunning outfits, 22 gorgeous fashion models, a long white catwalk, a line-up of inpatient photographers, press, special guests and a tray of the currently fashionable cupcakes – all brought together in the name of Pierre Garroudi’s Haute Couture SS11 collection. The well-anticipated SS11 Haute Couture fashion show takes place as fashion models introduce luxurious garments of intricate detail and wild imagination.

Pierre Garroudi's Collection

Each collection the fashion designer Pierre Garroudi discovers is based on one colour, and this time the palette is turquoise. The carefully hand-stitched ruffles, pleats and folds exhibit intricate detail and serious craftsmanship complimenting Pierre Garroudi’s futuristic interpretation of contemporary trends and reconfirming that he indeed is a cutting edge fashion designer.

Dresses and separates, whether long or short, wide or narrow are all very feminine, glamorous and predominantly backless.

The headpieces were breathtaking. Despite being in the area, there was no need to head to the London Eye as the perfect miniature model of the London Eye was right in front of us, on the catwalk, on the head of a gorgeous fashion model. And that was not all. Tailing sharks and steam ships were amongst other sculpted shapes to immerge from the turquoise sea of hair, perfectly shaped to great detail.

The women’s shoes worn by the fashion models have their own story too. It was hard to believe that the fashion designer, Pierre Garroudi, used second hand shoes to create this extraordinary art to compliment his garments. He ingeniously reincarnated unwanted women’s shoes giving them a second life on his glamorous catwalk. A selection of second hand women’s shoes was cleverly restyled. A variety of unexpected objects including flowers, wires, toys, spikes and kitchen accessories were carefully attached to women’s shoes, which were later spray painted in a nice greyish tone of metallic turquoise.

The fashion show was spectacular. The collection was breathtaking. The cupcakes were delicious and we salute Pierre Garroudi for his incredible talent.
