Aspinal of London unveils collaboration with Giles Deacon
Date Posted: Friday 21st September 2018
Aspinal of London has announced its collaboration with British womenswear and couture designer, Giles Deacon. Aspinal of London invited Giles to dress his favourite Aspinal products by bringing couture design elements to a playful and inspired collection. The result is a fresh, colourful and embellished capsule based on Giles’s hand-drawn illustration of the “Aspinal Girls”, which appears on an all-over print on leather in various scales and colourways, as well as individual characters with a simple and elegant embossing of a single girl.
The Girls represent the inclusivity of the collection. The collaborative collection adds unexpected materials and prints to traditional styles and includes a stylish array of embroidered, illustrated and printed bags, clutches, silk scarves, small leathers and playful gifts including Christmas crackers.
Across the collection, Giles’s considerable talent and skill as an illustrator is emphasised, with the creation of chic, timeless and elegant women, who are depicted promenading and posing across the delightful and witty range of accessories and gifts.
The Giles x Aspinal of London collection is presented in a sophisticated palette of emerald greens, bright corals, sophisticated neutrals and soft golds, with a choice of fabrics including a moiré leather, silks and printed leathers. Further inspiration has been found within vintage illustrations, intricate antique jewellery and embellishments as well as the glamorous, golden and by-gone age of luxury travel.
The collection consists of 25 pieces, priced from £45 to £950. The Giles x Aspinal of London range will be stocked in Aspinal stores and online.
