On Thursday I was
luckily enough to be able to attend the fashion fringe lecture with guest Giles
Deacon talking about his career and experience in the fashion industry.
He has had an amazing
career, attending St Martins with Lee (Alexander McQueen), and Katie Brand and
getting a job with Tom Ford straight out of university.
He told us how he
personally goes and visits the floor staff at the stores that sell his
collections, to ensure they understand the collection and are well informed to
then sell it to the customer.
He also explained he
does not have a muse but is inspired ‘strength of character of women and the
different sides to their personality’.
It was a brilliant
talk and very inspiring. Giles is one of my favourite designers so it was great
to see him in person
