While flipping through the January issue of Elle magazine, I came across an article on London Fashion Week. One of the designers they talked about was Giles Deacon and I found him highly creative, fun and interesting. The Elle article described Giles as "leading the charge" and described him as a designer who "channeled his love of cartoons, animals, and computer games into a new jewelry line."
Elle says the (new jewelry) line includes statement pieces like an oversized gold spider ring. The jewelry line will arrive in stores spring/summer 2010.
Bloggers are saying that "unlike his big show-stopping pieces in the past (as seen above!), his new jewelry line makes for a very wear-able collection." He was said to have made a big impression at fashion week in 2008 by having his models wearing pac-man-esque helmets!
Let me introduce you to "Eek"! This is "Deacon's imagined name for Mickey Mouse's cousin, the big-eared persona he created for his fall '09 runway show". (Elle)
Besides his jewelry designs, his clothes are awesome too! I'm in love with this Pac-man inspired dress and the dinosaur purse! Way to go Giles Deacon!!! ~S
