Giles Deacon Quotes

It's important to offer well-thought-out pieces at lower prices.
Just because something is less expensive shouldn't mean it is less well designed.
Let's be honest: not everybody can afford to buy £5,000 dresses, so the jewellery is a nice of way of getting the Giles product out into the world and introduce it to people not familiar with the label. QVC is a really good partner to help us do that.
Making your own clothes is great - but don't make everything, or I'll be out of a job!
My designs are slightly subversive in their way; it can be in the cut or the colour, but they're always obtainable: they're not so difficult that a 40-year-old woman wanting to go to a cocktail party looking foxy and a little bit different in something well-made would be alienated by them.
