Aspinal of London has announced that internationally renowned couture designer Giles Deacon will be joining the brand as Design Director. The appointment has been made following its collaboration on the GilesxAspinal capsule accessories collection, which launched this season.

Aspinal of London founder, Iain Burton, comments, 'We are absolutely delighted to announce the appointment of Giles as Design Director, which has come about following the collaboration on the capsule collection he has just designed with us. As a modern heritage brand, Aspinal is always thinking of the "now" and the "next" whilst affectionately incorporating influences from the past, and we feel that Giles's unique and highly creative talent truly encapsulates this spirit. It will be an honour and a great pleasure to work with a true trailblazer of British fashion and to take the brand forwards, as Giles brings his couture sensibility to bear and we produce together inspired designs for the future.'

Giles will continue to be Creative Director at his own label Giles Deacon Couture.
