The king of avant-garde, the purveyor of edge, Gareth Pugh showcased his Spring 2010 Runway show last night at Paris Fashion Week. Notable for his ribbing and extremely boxy shapes, using black and white, and overall robotic feel, Pugh strayed from his usual bold style and strict color palette. Not sure if it has anything to do with the current wave of nudes sweeping through all the Spring 2010 collections, but the designer selected a softer palette and the collection was more fluid. Still one to stand out from the pack, Pugh used different shades of grey from soft steel and smoke. The models struck me as survivors emerging from an explosion with powdery dark ash makeup. Needless to say, I loved the collection.

Rihanna and Daphne Guinness sat front row.

Karlie Kloss opened the show in a soft grey belted trench with a hood. Here are a few of my favorite picks.
