Giles Deacon’s playfully subversive sensibilities seem to attract the biggest and baddest girls in the business. Proof? His London show this week was stuffed to the gills with showbiz shenanigans.
For starters, bushy-browed Cara Delevingne was busy raising observers’ eyebrows with her ballsy selfies taken right on the runway itself – quite possibly a fashion first, for what that’s worth.
Then there were the hordes of Harry fans stalking the show’s nearby Spitalfields market, hoping for a glimpse of the One Direction hottie.
As it turns out, the rumoured attendee was a no-show, which means we can all look forward to an onslaught of pop culture pundits blogging about this snub to Harry’s current sweetheart and Giles walker, Kendall Jenner.

If Kendall was feeling blue over her beau’s absence in the front row, she was certainly wearing the colour very well indeed. Makeup master Lucia Pieroni really ramped up the drama with electrifying eyes that were darkly smoky and vibrantly neon at the same time.
For the lids, two sexy slate shades were layered on top of each other for an intensely pigmented, almost painterly patina.
First, Lucia dipped into the matte mauve goodness of M.A.C’s Eye Shadow in Copperplate, tapping it into the socket before giving this base shade a good wash of granite gray courtesy of a pot of Scene from the same brand. The colours were blended right up to the brow and carefully tapered to form a tadpole-like tail at the outer corners.
Pencil liners played a pivotal role: The upper was generously girthed with M.A.C’s supremely creamy Technakohl in Graphblack.
For the lower lashes, the coup de grâce: An absolute killer in the form of a flamboyant flash of ocean blue courtesy of Chromagraphic Pencil in Cyan, which was heavily rimmed all the way into the inner eye corners.
Keep up with the Kardashians and make like Kendall by wearing this bold blue eye for a big night out!
