Opinion & Facts, Pam Hogg

My opinion on Pam Hogg is that you couldn't show more nip if you tried. I have this growing feeling that she may have a platonic relationship with the same sex and she trys to portray this in mysterious ways within her work. Although its very out there it is also cleverly constructed together and provides a real wow factor when seen whether for the first, second or tenth time.

 

 

Short hem lines and promiscuous fabrics create a sexed up collection.

 

Facts on Beautiful Pam,

• Joined her first band "Rubbish" after graduating her masters of art at RCA.
• She was self taught within her outrageous creations.
• Shes dressed some of the most elitist in fashion and POP culture.

I dont know about you but when i look at pam i have a tendancy to flash back into the big, flame haired face of Vivenne Westwood.

Studying at GSA (Glasgow School of Art), she propelled to fame after winning numerous awards and furthering her study at RCA. Lauching her first collection in 1981 she sold out in hyper hyper and refused to sell out to mainsteam fashion. In 1991 she became more recognised and was introduced by terry wogan as “one of the most original, inventive, creative designers in Britain” and soon added “She has reached what is called Cult Status”

Establishing herself as a key design figure through the 80s and 90s her success continued in the 00s where she began to show case at LFW.  She also began to dress relevant celebrities and from this was stocked in browns where she was given the rare honour to dress their windows for halloween. 

Pams status has slightly demised as we reach the teenies but her hardcore symbol still keeps her legacy.
