Beyond Fashion's Designer of the Season

Designer of the season a new feature to Beyond Fashion, Every new season so basically 4 times a year (i say that but Ive only been on this for 2 seasons so far) we (i debate with my friends) decide on a designer of the season. kicking it off with summer This season there has seen so many great collections from high end atelier designers to the quirk balls and odd nuts of the bunch. But its been agreed that designer of the season is going to The British quirk ball that is Giles Deacon, for his sheer brilliance and versatility. Why have we chosen Giles well here's some of the reasons why;

• Recently featuring as a judge on channel 4's : T4 NewLook style the nation, he proved he not only design great outfits but he can style great outfits upon himself and look tre geek chic.
• His shock to fashion world, when he took the opportunity and designed a stunning wedding dress for the gorgeous Abby Clancy.
• His spring/summer 2011 collection made me drool!
• Hes again a British designer like Aunty Viv and the late great Alexander McQueen, who is beginning to push boundaries and going beyond the lengths of fashion by being tasteful at the very same time.

among those reason's there are many more but if i went on id probably bore you all so to save my breath and to let you look at something pretty other than black and white, here's some great inspiration, The work of Giles Deacon.

So what are your views on Giles? do you think he deserves the title designer of the season for summer?

Cher Lloyd: Swagger Jagger Go get some

I know Cher llyod is a very controversial artist that has come out of the UK Xfactor, but i love her 'Swagger' in this video and surpriseingly the video and song its self. Her play with huge, bold and loud accersories with classic fashion garments give her a quirky edge and yes again lots of 'Swagger Jagger'. I also love how She swaps her style to a classic mysterious and dark look. I never thought Id say this but Im so pleased Cher llyod is Back on the music scene and i cant wait to see what she comes up with Next.

Enjoy her New video Swagger Jagger and any comments, views you have why not share them below?

Leavers ball: Class of 2011

On the 1st July, Goff's Schools year 13 held their annual Leavers Ball or as its commonly known Prom. A much more sophisticated and elegant event to the usual prom that takes place at the end of year 11, it was full of surprises and great food. It was also the last time everyone would be together that attended sixth form which made it a little emotional but i think the fun and great friendships we had made over the 7 years we had been at Goff's over took that emotion.

So what they wore and my very own best dressed awards ! And of course photo's of the Event which took place the stunning Kings oak hotel.

Best Dressed Girl: Harriet McDonald + Jessica Scrutton
