The End.: London Fashion Week: Giles Deacon

London Fashion Week: Giles Deacon

Only two years after launching his signature label Giles, British designer Giles Deacon has fine-tuned his vision of high craft mixed with a wonderful sense of wit. In his recent spring collection, he spun punk, goth, and S&M elements in eminently wearable cocktail dresses and statement gowns. I'm in love. This gives me like being in a fashion nightmare that totally turns out good! The paddings on that soft pink number and the sheer covering on the charcoal grey sends me into a frenzy!

It's like a whirlwind of fashion here that he presents! I adore the black ruffled cocktail dress with the sheer top simply because it possesses the power to be very sexy, or very chic and clean. The red unit is sorta costume like, and burlesque but nonetheless it transcends and meshes very well with his collection. This last shimmery look helped my "nightmare" come into play more. The glittery dress topped with that once again "sheer face" gives me chills of excitement! The shoes also added a "highlight", they were bejeweled sky-high stilletos courtesy of Swarovski.

What are your thoughts on this "WONDERFUL NIGHTMARE"?!

((catch me if you can...))

She likes BKC. I like Epiphany.

I think it's very important to surround yourself with a positive team of people. Fresh ideas are always grown. It's such an organic feeling when you've found your inner circle. Who do you influence?

She likes BBC. I like Lanvin.

We're back at it again. Another year a harder hustle. 2 different coast. New York-our future home. Atlanta-our playground. Sham & I work together because we are so different. She's has the swagg and I have the in your face attitude. It's the perfect mix. She's simple. Im complex. We never try too hard. All this comes natural.

She likes Pharrell. I like Kanye.

Sham & I met almost 2 years ago. From that moment I knew we would be partners in this game. I remember our first meeting, it was at a photoshoot for LateBoots. I walked in the room and said "hi Sham it's nice to finally meet you", then we just went to work. It was so natural.

She's Edie. Im Andy.

Since we are a duo so many people say we remind them of Edie Sedgwick & Andy Warhol. She's the girl everybody likes. Im the guy that everybody loves to hate. Im cocky, arrogant, an asshole at times yet she is the georgia peach. She really isn't. I just get blamed for everything because Im the obvious bad guy. She is worse than me.

She's Brooklyn. Im Harlem.

Summer '08 we both interned in New York. She did Complex and I was at GIANT Magazine. I stayed in Harlem and she was in Brooklyn. She hated coming to Harlem and I hated going all the way out to BK. For our move to NYC we're gonna share an apartment, we're tossing a coin to determine where we'll stay.

She likes Michael. I like Prince.

We always argue who's the best performer out of the two. I believe Prince was for obvious reasons. He had swagg, what man do you know can get away with wearing heels and make-up? If you ask me Michael did all of that work to his face so he could look like Prince.

She likes Nike. I like YSL.

I once tried to buy a pair of Nike sneakers but they were to boyish for me. Trade is what you call it. Nike called up Sham and she went to New York to make her very own sneaker. It was dope. I would wear it. But instead I purchased some YSL sneakers. I like YSL.

She likes Marc Jacobs. I like Genevieve Jones.

I first saw Jones on style.com, I was like who is this skinny black girl tipping around New York. She's so chic. When Sham & I were in New York this past summer she actually met Jones at an event. I was sick because I should've been the one in the picture.
