Giles Deacon Launches Libertine Jewellery With QVC

Posted on by

Frost headed to the Ivy for the launch of Giles Deacon’s new jewellery collection for QVC, Libertine. We had a chat with the man himself and he told us that he could not choose his favourite piece as it ‘changed everyday’ and that his favourite that day was the ‘village people’. He also said that collaborating with QVC ‘took a while’ and was quite hard as they wanted everything to be perfect.  Kimberley and Proudlock from Made in Chelsea were also there. Take a look and tell us your favourite piece.

 “A Libertine is a person who has so much love, self awareness and lust for life.  A free spirited individual that ignores constraints defined by the larger society and whose thinking goes beyond mainstream idea”. 

Libertine, an edgy new jewellery collection from fashion designer, Giles Deacon, represents all of these characteristics through quirky design and bold use of colour.  Gold tone; embellished with Swarovski elements, these signature pieces reflect Giles’ playful style; offering women of all ages fun, statement accessories that inspire confidence.

Libertine is perfect for the woman who likes to have fun with her wardrobe and stand out from the crowd offering a variety of wearable bracelets, necklaces, rings and earrings.  Giles’ colourful enamelling and crystal embellishment will complete any daytime or evening look, with prices ranging from £14.00 to £70.00; the collection offers affordable glamour for women everywhere.

“The Giles Libertine jewellery collection is a mix of Edwardian eccentricity with punk attitude. In the “garden collection” which is beautiful golden thorns wrapping their way around enamel crystallised twisted bugs, or the “golden scorpion” collection with feather details – ‘Scorpy and the danglers’; also revisiting some of our favourite characters Eek mouse makes a return with a disco twist, as well as some figures developed from illustrations of fashion icons from the 30’s till now.

Celebrities attend the launch of Giles Deacon's jewellery collection for QVC

I am delighted to be launching the Libertine collection in collaboration with QVC, and to become part of their history of designer collaborations.  The new jewellery line has been designed with QVC’s ever growing customer base in mind”– Giles Deacon –

A host of celebrities and VIPs including Rosie Fortescue, Vanessa Feltz, Kimberley Garner, John McCririck, Lizzie Cundy, Zara Martin, Matt Evers, Ben Ofoedu, Gurinder Chadha OBE, Leanne Benjamin OBE, Trevor Bayliss, Phil Clifton and Jay Camilleri and attended the inaugural VeryFirstTo Awards at No 5 Cavendish Sq to discover the most eagerly anticipated luxury launches for Spring 2013.

Arriving in style for the exclusive awards ceremony, guests eagerly awaited the announcement of the VeryFirstTo Awards where forty launches for 2013 were selected and shortlisted by a panel of Connoisseurs of admired personalities including Giles Deacon, Bip Ling, Poppy Delevingne, Wayne Hemingway, and Luke Johnson.

 

Inside No 5 Cavendish Sq’s newly re-launched Mansion Hall, guests were able to exclusively experience their own preview of showcased must-have items for 2013. Throughout the evening, the award winners were announced to the select crowd, including overall winner Z.Boat by Zaha Hadid, Chanel, Marc Jacobs, Marni and View from The Shard who were amongst the exclusive brands awarded for their cutting-edge luxury launches this Spring. Guests rubbed shoulders with, VeryFirstTo’s Luxforecast Connoisseurs including Zara Martin, Leanne Benjamin OBE, and Guirinder Chadha OBE, who sit on the panel for this luxury awards ceremony.

 

VeryFirstTo Connoisseur Wayne Hemmingway said; “There are numerous awards which retrospectively honour items after they come to market. To acknowledge items, which have yet to launch is a refreshing new idea. We’re letting consumers know what we feel are the ones to watch.”

Guests at the exclusive Awards sampled the shortlisted Chivas 18 Whiskey and newly launched energy drink ZEO, newly arrived to the UK Imperial Collection vodka, as well as wines from Bibendum. A selection of canapés were served including Beetroot and Goat’s cheese mousse en croute, Arancini Balls and house restaurant Flavour’s Spiced Chicken Skewers.
