Of course it wasn't a collection made up entirely of dresses. This isn't ghesquiere, after all. No it had some lovely tailored pants and skirts in it too, but the point was that there was all a very sophisticated feel to the thing. The drama and wild of Giles wasn't completely gone, however, the odd fabrics could be seen adorning necklines and hemlines, the crazy prints confined to a few dresses or as lining/embellishment. There were feathers as neck ruffs and some chain mail as belts. There were also helmets, in a nod to pacman, which apparently was the inspiration for the collection. Go figure. I suppose this is Giles, after all.
but ultimately the whole thing was, well, cultured. I felt like Giles has done a little growing up since he sent out models with their heads swathed in black fabric. The Giles Deacon of Spring/Summer 2009 was a little more pulled together, and the pieces were, dare i say it, wearable. The fabrics were a little quirky, but hey, this 30 something woman might like things odd. She might want a PVC skirt paired with a silk sheer blouse. Or she might want a grey sheath dress with a little shot of pattern on the straps and waistline. She might even want some weird pannelling on an otherwise conservative bright red dress. Who know? Giles Deacon thinks he does. And you know what, after seeing this show, i think he just might.
