GILES AW12

Giles AW12. Well what can I say? I didn't see it in person, but I 

love it.

I have always liked his clear inspiration, very literal on the clothing, his inspiration this season arising from witches burning on the stake. I actually did branch laser cutting for my degree collection, but this is more beautiful than anything I could have designed or imagined. 

My favourite ever collection of Giles' was the AW09, oh those metallic shades and shapes and fur and cuts and hats and the loub boot collab! but I think after years of refinement this may be my favourite collection to date.

The prints are spectacular really, to get that singed effect whilst still looking elegant; genius. The use of colour is incredible as always, Giles is the only person for me who does silvers and greys perfectly.  More importantly the silhouettes of the clothing are always a delight, so feminine and beautiful.

I love Lindeys outfit- the silver branch laser cut with black tulle under, that's what I want to wear to the ballet! That or the last piece, gorgeous.

More From The Alps

It's like Christmas all year round here! Or at least all winter.. these are the winter lights (not Christmas lights as I so rudely assumed)

In the amazing restaurant La Dez' Alp, overlooking the mountain side, serving traditional alpine dishes.

I opted for the delectable, local specialty, grilled raclette with charticure, new potatoes & salad, it was possibly the most delicious thing I have eaten!

My lil' sis went for the biggest steak ever and ate every last bite.

Harriet trying coffee for the first time, haha I'm a mean big sister!

Skiing in Le Get, my favourite.

Mum & Harriet before our ski/boot swapping fiasco..tip- never wear ski boots that are too small for you, you will end up crying in pain, go up 2 sizes if anything!

Gary before he broke his arm :(

In a lovely little cafe on the mountain top, mulled wine please!

Traditional head-dipping fountain.
