Hot fashion designer Giles Deacon is set to expand his fashion brand and reach out to a whole new fashion clientele, setting his sights on international distribution.

In a struggling climate, it is refreshing to hear a fashion label with big plans to survive the recession. Despite falling sales across many top luxury brands, here’s hoping Giles Deacon succeeds. His fashions are wonderful! Here’s some fab pics to remind us of how great his designs are:

I love the above image – chunky knit scarves with sleek, short skirts – the fabric contrast is utterly stunning and very striking. Not sure if you could wear this to go into town though!

One has to wonder why fashion models are so thin, although i don’t think it is Likely to change anytime soon. Fashion designers want their clothes to be worn right and look their very best and there is a general consensus that couture fashion looks better on thin models than it does larger models. This is why designers will choose the slimmest girls possible to showcase their designs.

So, why are fashion models so thin? Well, they are moulded into being just what the fashion audience want to see and thin is always in, unfortunately. Thin fashion models are restricted with what they can eat and are watched closely to check they don’t put on any weight. If they did put on weight, there would always be a thinner model somewhere else, so the model that had put on weight would be rejected. It is a sad realisation that this is what happens in the world of fashion.

 

Right now, there is nothing ‘hotter’ than being seen in the latest designer clothes. The magazines litter their pages with the latest must haves, whether it be designer shoes, designer bags or that wonderful piece of designer clothing. But why pay the prices? It is becoming ever more apparent that the high street stores can beat the designer prices and create rather good replicas of our favourite designer brands.

Magazines are promoting this, just looking at the back of the Daily Mail Weekend magazine will show any clothing addict how to dress to impress for a reasonable price. £1500 for a designer dress? Why pay that when you can have an imitation from Topshop. It’s personal preference at the end of the day, but with the credit crunch hitting us hard, maybe more of us will be heading down the high street store route.

Primark are also offering the latest designer clothing trends at affordable prices. But then one must question whether we have to compromise on the quality as a result. For Fast Fashion though, Primark and Topshop deliver the goods. Maybe you want designer shoes? From past experiences, Primark don’t tend to keep their shoe ranges as ‘on trend’ as their clothing ranges, but then you can’t have everything! If you are paying less for a dress maybe you can afford to invest a little of your hard earned cash on some expensive designer shoes. Or a rather ’snazzy’ designer handbag. The choice is yours. Fashion at affordable prices is everywhere.

So why buy designer clothes?

As long as there are celebrities to aspire to, women will want what they have, so for some ladies – and equally some rather fastidious men – designer clothes are a must have. People want to feel good, and sometimes a designer label can help lift the spirits and boost the profile.

It’s easy to find where to buy the latest designer clothes. If you don’t want to pay the hefty price tags but still want to look like a designer goddess, then you can find some great options for star style at a cheaper price.
