London Fashion Week Highlight: Giles

Giles drew inspiration from Victoriana and Edwardiana in the Victoria and Albert Museum for this collection. Strong ties with is theme can be seen in the high necks on these two shirts [above] and consistant use of corsets throughout the collection. The maid- like bows on each of the models also seem to have filtered through from the Victoriana theme.

Favourite look:


This coat is truly faboulous... It reminds me of an old fisherman's raincoat from the early 1930s, My mother owns one which is kept in our family cottage on the west coast of ireland where she wears it in the blizzardous weather we are subjected to on walks over the hills and far away. I want this one so I can look as cool!
