Giles Deacon is not a household name and, honestly, he wasn't even on my radar. However, I recently came across photographs of his pre-fall 2011 collection and the all Black model casting was so striking that I had to take a second look. I’m glad I did because the clothes are kind of awesome. This open celebration of Black beauty deserves support and I know I will definitely be seeking out this brand when pre-fall collections hit the stores later this year.
