Giles Collection

Giles RTW Spring 2009
Giles Deacon took a more commercial turn this season, transforming some of the fantastical elements of past collections into pieces more suited for the real world. For spring, he tapped into a Pac-Man theme — some models wore huge pink metallic helmets shaped like the computer-game character — but most of the dresses he sent out were less madcap. There were tailored gray wool looks with sharp, peaked shoulders and a collection of chic jersey shifts in camel, red, turquoise and yellow with padded rounded collars. Inventive elements of seasons past turned up in smaller proportions and more wearable designs: The fine laser-cut shapes that once adorned a trailing, floor-length gown, for instance, appeared on a wearable chiffon minidress, while blurry, fax-machine prints were scaled down, turning up on sensible silk shift dresses.
