Gareth Pugh

British fashion designer Gareth Pugh has received global recognition for his approach to redefining modern luxury. Educated at London’s Central Saint Martins, in 2020 he was described by The Sunday Times as “Britain’s most exciting designer.”

Over the past decade Gareth has worked with some of the most popular artists of our time – including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and Rihanna – and has collaborated with some of the world’s most important cultural institutions, designing shows for New York City Ballet, Opéra Garnier in Paris, Dutch National Opera and the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.

In 2018, alongside his partner and Co-Creative Director, Carson McColl, Gareth co-founded HARD+ SHINY, an award-winning independent creative studio based in London, specializing in fashion, film, stage design and experiential entertainment.

Most recently the pair moved into the world of film, heading up both production and costume design for Danny Boyle’s 2025 blockbuster 28 Years Later and on his upcoming feature Ink.
