Published: June 19, 2019, 1:13 p.m.

b"Listen to fashion designer Giles Deacon - the imposing embodiment of modern couture - in conversation with Tim Blanks, one of the foremost voices in fashion and Editor at Large of the Business of Fashion. \\n\\nDeacon's designs express a very particular sensibility. Glamorous but dark. Sumptuous but slightly macabre. They are the kind of clothes that imbue their wearer with extraordinary character. But it tends to be extraordinary characters who are best equipped to wear them. Every dress tells a story. Therefore every wearer is a storyteller. Which makes Giles a master narrator of modern couture. Tim Blanks probes his psyche and finds out how and why Giles fits into contemporary fashion. \\n\\nTim has written for Vogue, GQ, The Financial Times, Interview, Fantastic Man and Arena Homme Plus. In the 2013 CFDA Awards he was awarded the media award in honour Eugenia Sheppard, the premier industry award for fashion journalism."
