Giles Spring 2011 Sparkly Sneakers and Extreme Si

7z7l0x4y1p

LONDON–Giles Deacon,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], much like his friends Katie Grand and Luella Bartley, is just innately cool. The East London space in which he showed his Spring 2011 collection last night–an old brick warehouse of sorts with low ceilings–was just cool. And the clothes he showed–some beautiful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], some beautifully off kilter–were also, well,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cool.
Each look was quite different. Some kooky knits with an eyeball motif appeared in the beginning,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then a few ball gowns with exaggerated poufy skirts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], then a long pink column dress draped in pink Swarovski beads. There were also pom poms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! A pom pom Mohawk, in fact,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on several of the models. Most noticeably, Veruschka who, at 71,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], closed the show.
Aggy Deyn opened with a Mohawk and a pair of pastel sneakers (or trainers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as the Brits call them) encrusted in Swarovski crystals. (Giles is yet another designer supported by Swarovski.) Other notable models included Alessandra Ambrosio,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Jessica Stam, Coco Rocha, Ashley Smith and footballer WAG Abbey Clancy–who is apparently three months pregnant and in the midst of a cheating scandal. Famous Brit Kelly Brook–I really have no idea what she actually does–was also there.
