Get your freak on Giles Deacon

Credit where it is due, Giles pulled it out of the bag on the closing show. For a designer who was originally not even supposed to be showing in Paris, he went to town. Let's begin with the invites. I mean, with an invite like this HOW could you not be intrigued...



And on to the clothes. I didn't notice till I went on style.com that the first look (green dress, spider, left) is Daphne Guinness. Interesting...







And backstage...





Seeing collections like this leave me asking why his New Look collaborations are never this good...?
Pretty amazing.
Besides, any show that allows the models (aka Dree) to leave looking this cool deserves a seeeerious gold star.

Paris fashion week

Initially I was going to do a post with my Paris fashion week favourites up until now. But seeing as how Paris is massively not appealing to me despite the A* name roster, I am going to dedicate this post to Alexander McQueen. Is it me, or is he one of the only designers that is actually daring to do something different at the moment?
It really makes me proud when British designers can deliver in such an amazing way and stand up against the more established fashion houses.


I've seen the collection's inspiration described as everything from 'alien' to being put under the inventive headline 'Shoes worn by women, designed by a man' (London lite quality right there). But under the title 'Plato's Atlantis' I think it's pretty self explanitory. It really reminds me of the Disney Atlantis film too, particularly, this scene.

Silver nails! mmm.














I'd like to think that the live stream of the show crashed due to people excited about McQueen's collection, but in reality we all know a certain disco stick toting pop star was to blame. Direct all annoyances towards the HAUS.
