Calling the Giles Deacon Spring 2010 show at Paris Fashion Week a [whimsical one](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wild-rose-sparrow) may be an extreme understatement. For his Parisian debut—and the first show after his highly acclaimed ANDAM prize—the anticipated designer sent models down the runway with [fake tarantulas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/murder-hornet-ring) nestled between cleavage and youthful (very youthful) dinosaur shoulder bags.

Kicking off the Giles Deacon Spring 2010 collection was Daphne Guinness, who sported a lime minidress complete with a hairy black spider breast ornament. The show continued with more cleavage-occupying arachnids, tarantula-themed tees and dresses, [plush dino purses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/at-the-edge-of-time), and generous amounts of orange eye shadow. Overall, the collection seemed to blend Halloween and spring together—which may or may not work for you, depending on your age.
