Giles

Sonnet sends me one from the London Fashion cat walk. This time it is Giles Deacon, whose clients include Princess Beatrice, Drew Barrymore, Thandie Newton, Scarlett Johansson, Gwen Stefani and Mischa Barton. Usual crowd.

Here is what the abel says:
"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."
