THE BEST OF LONDON | GILES S/S 09



ACROSS THE POND
I normally don't pay much attention to London Fashion Week - as I'm more so interested in London street style. But the latest collection from London designer Giles Deacon has made me turn my attention to the runways this season. He stunned audiences on Tuesday with a collection that took as its inspiration the 1980s computer game Pac-Man. He's always been known for pushing boundaries on the catwalk and for challenging traditional ideas of womenswear. This time around he gave us a futuristic, sci-fi thread ran through the 37-outfit collection, which included billowing, show-stopping gowns. Mix in a little Jessica Stam, Sessilee Lopez and Agyness Deyn, et Voila!!! Pure Magic...
