“Nobody ever gets it Alex, but you get it!”
While working with Selfridges on another project, they asked if we could design a tech installation for the, Gareth Pugh, and the launch of his first every "ready to wear" collection. In 4 weeks time. In the first week of January. "Of course we can!" I said.
The theme of discovery was used as a linchpin. Viewers were discovering the installation, discovering Gareth Pugh as a designer and discovering the internal workings of his mind represented through VR.
