As the spring 2014 collections in New York revealed their homage to the 1990's with crop tops, bodycon silhouettes and tank dresses, Giles Deacon takes this 90's homage to the next level by literally using iconic 1990's fashion photography from Glen Luchford.
You know that gorgeous image of Amber Valletta seductively floating along in a small boat along a fire laden river for Prada F/W '97?

Now that image is immortalized on a chic modern shift dress.

And those funky photos of Kate Moss all dressed up like a techno-cow girl in 1994?

I admit I giggled with delight when I saw these timeless images in Giles' collection. Growing up, these images inspired me and now, they continue to inspire
and tug at my nostalgic heartstrings. This blatant self reference to the fashion world and the nod to the 90's (replete with dresses paired with sweet kicks!) is ironically cool.
