Pam Hogg has passed away. England had Dame Viv Westwood, Alexander McQueen was half Scots and half English, but Pamela was a true Scottish fashion goddess. It’s extremely sad news.
Hogg was a true icon, a trailblazer of style. She has a lasting iconoclastic legacy and unique sensibility, v punk rock and sexy. She reinvented the catsuit, creating sci-fi designs that flattered figures, and was close friends with Siouxsie, who was one of her biggest inspirations.
Everyone from Kate Moss to Kylie, Bjork to Paula Yates, Rihanna to Lady Gaga wore her futuristic outfits. She also DJed and played in various bands, and recently created designs for a Glasgow theatre production of Edwin Morgan ‘s adaptation of Cyrano Dr Bergerac. Sashay away, wonderful Pam. Scotland is feeling your loss this week.
