I think a bit of jewellery that cheers you up for the day isn't a bad thing.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I am more interested in people's attitude than someone who is a perfect face. Every time I walk the streets of London, I see someone who interests me. It doesn't matter how old they are.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
My parents weren't into fashion. I didn't have an eccentric granny who mixed lace mantillas with tweed.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I'd really love to dress Lauren Bacall. She's incredibly interesting - a gorgeous, stylish woman with a strong personality.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I go to contemporary galleries all around the world when I can. There's always something historical and something contemporary; those are my rock references.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I have an art-school background, not a fashion background where it's like, 'Oh, we're going on holiday to Miami.'
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I didn't set out wanting to be a fashion designer from the age of 3. It wasn't that kind of dream.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I did an art foundation course, and I knew I wanted to do something in a creative field. And fashion just seemed like the most fun.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
We want to be the go-to business for super-special daywear and eveningwear, to focus on what we are known for and what our customers want from us.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
The women that wear my clothes would want a pink BlackBerry in their handbag.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Due to the hectic, non-stop nature of my work, I'm always using my BlackBerry to stay in touch with my studio, wherever I am.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I very much like Christopher Kane. He actually did a work placement with me, and you could spot his talent straight away.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I'm interested in women who have got character and experience and an opinion about things.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
DAKS is a much more restrained silhouette, and there's a real emphasis on daywear, outerwear, and tailoring. It's more stripped-down.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Making your own clothes is great - but don't make everything, or I'll be out of a job!
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Women I've known have always been quite strong and confident women. Sure, I've got some friends who aren't so overtly confident, or at least don't appear that way. But when you get to know them, they are very much so.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Everybody's got a lot to their personalities. You're not just one element. There are some days you want something that can be a bit stricter or a bit more disciplined or something a bit more floaty and a bit freer.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
People often think that the world fashion is so full of a certain pretense that it can't just be about going for something because it suits you and looks great, and it's nicely cut and is made of beautiful fabric. You know, if it has a bit of lightness and playfulness to it, then I think people just respond to that really well.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
You take it very seriously when you start any project, but not everything in life ends up where you think it's going to be.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
My longest collaborative working relationship is with Katie Grand, the editor-in-chief of 'Love' magazine. Katie's an inspiration and a sounding block. She's got such great taste.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I went to public and state schools - not at the same time. I did my art foundation course at Harrogate College of Arts. This brilliant tutor suggested I apply to Central Saint Martins. I adored it.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
The name Holly Fulton has become synonymous with daring, bold graphic prints which you just know if you wear you'll have a brilliant time in.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Rooney Mara is someone I'd like to dress; we've not worked with her before and she certainly has very interesting personal style.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I like women to have life, personalities. Women who would perhaps cause some trouble on a night out and have a lot to say for themselves.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I like characters in life, generally; I don't like to see a collection modelled on a homogeneous look. That terrifies me.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
We design for a whole range of ages and body types, and we always have done. What's great about us is that the common thing that they all like is an accessible eccentricity of an accessible flamboyance, and I think the super thing about that, it isn't age-specific: you're not only dressing 25-year-olds; we're dressing women from 25 to 65+.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Pretty much hated school. I never really found my footing. I just didn't like lessons.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
People don't necessarily realise that there can be just as much work on a quiet jacket as an overblown gown.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I liked the fact DAKS was an unknown quantity. It's more like Gucci before Tom Ford got there. There's a lot you can do.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I'll spend a couple of days in Paris, a couple back in London, some time at the factory in Italy... I like travelling, but it can be a struggle to get home for weekends.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
There are some great skinny girls, but it's about characters, isn't it? That's what I find attractive. People who've had interesting lives and tell you something that you don't know or are really good fun.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
If you've invested money in buying a piece, you don't want it to just disintegrate. We all have that first wash anxiety, when that great t-shirt you've just bought shrinks away to nothing.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
I don't believe in a recipe for success. You have to work hard; you may not always get it right - you have to bounce back from situations, and you have to be really focused and determined. It's important to have fun as well. Work shouldn't be a torture.
Quote by -Giles Deacon
Single-sex private schools, especially in the middle of nowhere on a bleak hill in County Durham - I don't think they make sense.
