♥ GILES S/S 10 SHOW

I absolutely LOVED Giles' first show in Paris….The colours and shapes were amazing!! Neons, metallics and dinosaur-influenced cartoon elements were combined with Giles' prom style dresses to make the kooky almost elegant. A tarantula motif was a recurring print as well as the fabric laser cut-outs that decorated the black sheer dresses. Accessories like the cuddly dino satchels and sunglasses produced for the first time with Linda Farrow, also made the pretty frocks more offbeat. All in all I heart Giles!!

They have taken design inspiration from the vibrant continent and this is also part of the support for Fair Trade in Africa so your getting cool pieces and helping a good cause :) My fave's are the printed jumpsuit and the blue print high waisted skirt.

And lastly, I loved David Koma's S/S 10 collection during London Fashion Week. Koma is rapidly becoming a fashion industry darling. Vogue, Elle and Dazed and Confused are just a few of the fashion bibles who have dedicated column inches to his work. He has also had a huge celeb following including Beyonce, Lady Gaga and of course Cheryl Cole who wore 'that dress' on the X Factor live show.

His S/S 10 collection was eagerly anticipated, and it didn’t disappoint. The body-con element was still present, but this time the metal tubing made way for 60s swirly shapes and neon blocked colours, though there were still embellishments a-plenty.

So who does he design for, exactly? “It would be strong, sexual and confident woman. My collection always based on strong and sexual silhouette. I love to work with shapes, trying to unite female spirit with contemporary art. Exaggerating, but I never cross the line.”
