Giles A/W12 London

The invitation to this show had burnt holes in it but that was just a small hint at how beautiful this effect would look when used on fabric.  Although some of the shapes were not for me, the materials and fabrics were stunning, not only this signature one, but also laser cut satins, subtly dyed feathers and metallic lace.  The look was part buttoned up sheltered lady, part damsel in distress.  I love how damaged and fragile these dresses look, and yet from the softenss comes great fashion drama.
