Silver Nudie,
Giles, 2011

Materials: Silver Bonded Leather
Size: Fits size UK 8-12

Created exclusively for SHOWstudio Shop, in June 2011 and sold with a film documenting the creation of the jacket from start to finish.

For his live session, Mr Deacon took our smoke and mirrors theme quite literally, plastering the walls in distinctly Warholian tin-foil and drafting in a smoke machine as a tongue-in-cheek touch typical of his ever-humorous design style. His Le Smoking itself has a touch of the Ziggy Stardust to it, slim-cut in sparkling whip-stitched silver leather dripping with fringes and fit for any woman or, indeed, skinny and flamboyant fella (in case Bowie is watching). There's also a hint of the Wizard Of Oz's Tin Man to this number - but maybe that's just the bolted-on label (no chance of forgetting which designer devised this jacket then!).
