Giles doesn`t seize to amaze and excite me! I love the way he arranges patterns and fabrics. The dresses have super-amazing details and still never look overloaded. I love the femininity & tenderness of the first three dresses and the cigarette-burn-holes add a notion of fragility - a kind of injury which creates a new surface. I find this "beauty through destruction" connotation poetic and metaphysical.

How do you like the collection? What do you think about the cigarette-burn-holes print? Hit or miss?

What a stunning collection! I`m impressed with the laser cut leathers and cascading feather creations. Giles Deacon is definitly one of the newer designers to watch. I love how he mixes innovation with opulence.
