Observations:

Gareth Pugh (born 1981) is a British fashion designer widely acclaimed for his avant-garde and innovative approach to fashion. Pugh's work is known for its exploratory forms and materials, often blending elements of sculpture with traditional fashion design to create pieces that challenge conventional notions of clothing and beauty. Pugh's designs frequently incorporate unconventional materials such as latex, synthetic hair, and PVC, combined with a stark, monochromatic palette, to create silhouettes that are both futuristic and reminiscent of historical costume. Did you know? Gareth Pugh's fashion shows are as much art installations as they are traditional runway presentations, often featuring elaborate choreography and immersive environments that reflect the thematic and aesthetic concerns of his collections. His work has not only graced the runways of Paris and London but has also been featured in major museum exhibitions and used in performances by artists like Lady Gaga and Beyoncé, showcasing his influence beyond the fashion industry into popular culture and performance art. We adore Gareth Pugh, both in real life and in Midjourney. Sit back and enjoy the runway show! Midjourney makes it work! The Midlibrary score is 9/9 (we love burnt peonies and gloomy cat, Nazgul's headpiece mimicking the tower in the distance, runway ready Thom and Francis, and the rest of our bizarre benchmark prompts today)/.

What is Midlibrary Benchmark
and how rate styles

Midlibrary Benchmark is a test comprised of nine standardized prompts designed to test how Midjounrey styles (AKA artistic styles, reference styles, or style modifiers) work with different subjects in a variety of contexts.

Benchmark prompts
cyberpunk character
Nazgul over sleeping town
decaying peonies
tech genius teenage girl
cute Mainecoon cat
Chernobog
bioarchitecture
Thom Yorke
Francis D. photographed by Andrei Kovalev. Paris, 2011
Image Prompt: Francis D

Style ranking

Depending on how a style manifested itself with each prompt, we add 1, 0.5, or 0 points to its total score.

cyberpunk character by Hieronymus Bosch

The prompt produced a generic results with no unique style features: this test adds nothing (0) to the overall score.

cyberpunk character by Ron English

This generation inherits more elements from the referenced style, but they are scarce and dilluted. Which adds 0.5 to the style's score.

cyberpunk character by Guy Bourdin

In this case, the Midjourney style showed a distinct and unique result, well aligned with the style's real-world prototype. A firm 1.
