In his 2009 Ready to Wear collection, he presented a duality nature of his garments by using white at the front of the outfits and black on the back. Pugh talks about his work saying that it represented the notion of emerging from the darkness. His work focuses around the inescapable protection as he refers to historical clothing such as medieval wear. In some garments, Pugh creates a reptilian surface, representing the idea of camouflage, protecting the internal.
