Giles Deacon, famed for his extravagant wedding and eveningwear designs, has recently taken on the role of Design Director at Aspinal of London, a luxury accessories brand. His appointment comes after a successful collaboration between the two brands, which featured quirky illustrations on some of Aspinal’s signature bags.
In an Instagram post announcing his new position, Deacon expressed his enthusiasm for the opportunity and thanked the company executives for entrusting him with such a pivotal role.

The capsule collection he created with Aspinal showcased his creative vision, transforming classic Aspinal bags such as the Trunk clutch, Hat box, Regent tote, Micro Lottie, Soho clutch, and Hepburn bag with innovative illustrations.
