Last week I boarded the Eurostar to Paris to cover the Giles show for work, trésemmé exciting as you can imagine. I thought I’d share some of the pictures from the day, the Giles studio must be really quite organised as it was the calmest pre-catwalk show atmosphere I’ve seen. I chatted to the make up artist Miranda Joyce who looked amazing in a brick silk shirt and mannish trousers, and the nail person was none other than Sophy Robson. Glad to see more yellow in the catwalk, at Giles it was cosily paired with coral, brown and cream. Obvs everyone is talking about the Gremlin and Gonk bags they’re insane and wishlist worthy. Rachael has a potted gonk history for all the fashion geeks out there. I love the way that minus the akookrements like the Pac Man headgear from a few seasons back Giles’ clothes are actually quite ladylike and classic. Oh and I met Chris Moore, who just started a blog, hero alert!

The day was amazing, everyone was really helpful and friendly, apart from an idiot taxi driver who overcharged us. I may be 50% français but I don’t have the French temper to back it up and fight back! I interviewed Giles, which should be available on You Tube soon, my only regret is that I didn’t ask him about his vintage paperclip collection. Gah! More pics after the jump
