Tis the season of collaborations. The latest of which, Giles Deacon for Matches, is a lesson in his signature frivolous and fun-loving designs and want-it-all whimsy.
Based on his hand-drawn iPad illustrations and sketches, the 16 strong collection of playful prints have been translated onto silk dresses, tunics, tops and trousers as well as a range of accessories, plates, stationary and delightful dolls which have been crafted with feathered hair and Swarovski sparkling eyes.
Deacon explained, “We were conscious to create something that would suit everybody,” which is exactly what the collection offers by way of fabulous form-fitting shift dresses, slimline tops and sleek silhouetted prom dresses. The hazy water-colour palette of soft pinks and peaches, swirls of grey and violet are sure to pep up an all black winter wardrobe and will have you clicking the ‘purchase’ button on your Christmas in the Caribbean holiday before the collection has even hit the store, which by the way is November 13th, matchesfashion.com.
