LFW: Giles

What could have been a haunting walk down the aisle to a mortuary on the London runway for Giles’ Fall 2013 collection was far from spiritless. Revenant bridal looks seemed to be in similar feel to Chanel’s Spring/Summer couture. The effect of the show was an ellipsis from pallor to corset, pyschedelia and Golgotha. Gold foliage and braiding as armour on top of evening-wear moved to long length oyster and palest pink silk dresses with digital abstract animal prints. The prints became raspberry and dresses cropped to reveal contrasting black mod-in-the-Renaissance looks. 

Oversized knit beanies and arm warmers carried over between the switches in moods as did the lengthy long sleeved, high necked gowns that made the shorter hemlines that much more dramatic. Sleek and fringed flapper silhouettes counterbalanced billowing sleeves and skirts. The collection was an oracle in itself and spectral of what to expect from Giles.
