The Guru girls went to The London College of Fashion to attend an event with Colin McDowell who was in conversation with British Fashion Designer of the Year 2007, Giles Deacon.

Giles Deacon has designed for Bottega Veneta, Gucci (womenswear), Ralph Lauren, and Louis Vuitton. In 2004 Giles launched his own luxury womenswear collection which is based here in London.

Giles is not only known for bringing high fashion to the affluent clientele, he has also designed for high-street retailer New Look which appeals to the mass market. Most recently (2008) Giles created his first ever high-street jewellery collection in collaboration with our client, Evoke. The Brand Guru team are proud to honour the collection by promoting all PR activities for the Giles for Evoke range.

The event was a night of inspiration. Giles Deacon and Colin McDowell entered the stage. Giles looked as excited as we were, as he waved at the audience, he was dressed causally in white jeans, a white shirt and an apple green jumper and of course he was wearing his signature glasses.

Colin started the conversation with Giles and then took questions from the audience. There were no short of hands in the air. Giles was charming and articulate and it was refreshing to hear how life of fashion and fame has not fazed such a successful designer. He certainly lives up to his name as Britain’s fashion darling….. That was an evening well spent, Giles is a true gem.
