Mid 80's, Pam Hogg's shop in London's Soho was a centerpoint for customers and retail buyers alike. Early collections were stocked in Harrods, Harvey Nichols, Joseph, Bendals, Bloomingdales, plus numerous world wide stores including Paris, Italy and Tokyo.

 

In 2006, London boutique Browns gave Pam free rein to dress its five famous windows with the collection they had purchased.

Throughout her career, Hogg's designs have been worn by figures such as Bjork, Debbie Harry, Siouxsie Sioux, Naomi Campbell and Rihanna and in 2007 she designed Kylie’s infamous black mesh metal-studded catsuit for the video Two Hearts. 

Her much-anticipated 2009 catwalk return collection “Galaxy Warriors”, was met with a standing ovation and praise from the highest echelons of the fashion world. 

Pam Hogg's ongoing London Fashion Week shows are a fixture of the season’s calendar, revered for their obstinate pursuit of imagination and integrity. Pam single-handedly creates, directs, produces and styles these collections,
