Leave it to famed British designer Giles Deacon to create a line that is retro and modern at the same time with the Giles Pre-Fall 2012 collection.
While the retro, Mad Men-inspired look has been dominating the runways of the fashion capitals for a few seasons now, Mr. Deacon updates it with gorgeous navy single-breasted power suits, bohemian printed maxi dresses and sky-high stilettos.
Giles Deacon recently left Emmanuel Ungaro after only a few seasons as the brand's creative director (Deacon took over after Lindsay Lohan's failed stint at Ungaro) and it seems that his decision to leave was a wise one. Now with his entire focus on his namesake brand, the Giles Pre-Fall 2012 collection is essentially flawless.
