Giles Deacon and His Spring RTW 2010

Label Overview

Ever since his groundbreaking debut in 2004, British designer Giles Deacon has fine-tuned his vision of high craft mixed with a steady stream of wit. He spent time at the Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci studios, among others, and he’s honed his knack for mixing superior craftsmanship with whimsical irreverence. One of the hottest tickets on London runways, Giles dabbles with unlikely proportion and padding, wild prints, and pop-culture references that range from Poe to Peter Saville. As his style matures, he’s transitioning from editorial to wearable, and retailers are watching.

Spring R.T.W. 2010

My favorite outfit that he made!

Playful dress with spider prints

Love the silver blazer and pants but i love the rhino bag more.

See how wearable this is

Would love to see someone walking down the street on this!
Reminds me of Carrie in Sex & the City Movie.

PpPposh!

Giles' version of a little black dress!

What's Been Said

• “Deacon has always aspired to a Parisian level of couture-like design, but the execution has tended to be a bit lumpy and clunky at times. This season, he delivered on all fronts, with a collection of chic sixties looks that had an underlying S&M theme, madly accessorized with vast ostrich hats by Stephen Jones. If that sounds aggressive, it didn't stop Deacon producing a slew of beautiful dresses. One was a short trapeze of black lace overlaid on white; another was a gown in tiers of stiff fan pleats, trimmed with patent at the neck. Others were belled at the hip, or Empire-line in a slightly off-register print of dancing skeletons.”

• “Hopefully, if you saw someone wearing one of our frocks you'd think she looks quite interesting to have a chat with and say hello to. They're a bit 'We're on, we're out, we mean business.'”
