Designer of the season a new feature to Beyond Fashion, Every new season so basically 4 times a year (i say that but Ive only been on this for 2 seasons so far) we (i debate with my friends) decide on a designer of the season. kicking it off with summer This season there has seen so many great collections from high end atelier designers to the quirk balls and odd nuts of the bunch. But its been agreed that designer of the season is going to The British quirk ball that is Giles Deacon, for his sheer brilliance and versatility. Why have we chosen Giles well here's some of the reasons why;
- Recently featuring as a judge on channel 4's : T4 NewLook style the nation, he proved he not only design great outfits but he can style great outfits upon himself and look tre geek chic.
- His shock to fashion world, when he took the opportunity and designed a stunning wedding dress for the gorgeous Abby Clancy.
- His spring/summer 2011 collection made me drool!
- Hes again a British designer like Aunty Viv and the late great Alexander McQueen, who is beginning to push boundaries and going beyond the lengths of fashion by being tasteful at the very same time.
So what are your views on Giles? do you think he deserves the title designer of the season for summer?
