British designers give ELLE a new look

London Fashion Week is fast approaching. And for the new season, it's not only their catwalk collections that British designers have been fine tuning.

For ELLE's October issue, The London Issue, four British designers have created their ultimate ELLE covers. And while they may not all be showing in the capital, these designers have London spirit through and through.

Luella Bartley, now back showing at London Fashion Week, Giles Deacon, Gareth Pugh, who will be showing in New York this season for the first time, and Matthew Williamson, who has put his label firmly on the fashion map with a move to the tents at Bryant Park in New York, have each created a special limited edition ELLE cover that money can't even buy. Only a few hundred of each will ever be printed, and promise to be future collectors items.

New Magazine: Distill

Tom Dixon is helping to compile a new bimonthly fashion digest magazine, Distill, which hits the newsstands today.

Dixon sits on the editorial board of the publication, along with fashion designer Giles Deacon, Design Museum director Dejan Sudjic, fashion designer Matthew Williamson and Net-a-Porter founder Natalie Massenet.
The magazine, published by Craft, reprints fashion spreads from up to 250 global style publications. It is designed by art director Peter Citroni, previously art director of Australian magazine Architectural Digest.

Former art director of US Vogue Sheila Jack is group design director at Craft Publishing, set up last year by former Wallpaper publisher Christopher Lockwood and editorial director Matthew Line.

Distill’s target readership is creative professionals.

‘This is not a fashion magazine about hemlines, it is about the way fashion is presented globally,’ says Distill creative and publishing director Lockwood.

‘The number of designers and creatives is growing,’ he adds. ‘Fashion is an important visual stimulus and inspiration to the creative sector as a whole, which is why we have recruited designers from a range of disciplines to sit on the editorial board.’

The first, 208-page issue showcases the work of about 25 global fashion and style magazines, and is presented in five sections – womenswear, menswear, streetwear, accessories and visual arts.

Giles Deacon for New Look

Deacon's Gold collection for New Look is instore today and it's stripes a-plenty by the looks of it. Modelled by Brit fave Agyness Deyn the collection has everything from sunnies to shoes and goes up to £50 for the striped trench coat.

I'm not such a fan of monochrome stripes but I love the denim ruffle dress and the denim pencil skirt. The batwing jumper is also on my wishlist as it looks like something I might come across in a charity shop without the acrylic itch or the polyester sweat! See after the jump for images of the collection. CheckShoewawa to see the fabulous Giles shoes.

Agyness Deyn

this is one of the first pics of the model of the moment wearing the latest Giles Deacon Gold collection for New Look.

Apparently this collection - which hits the rails on 19th March - is "inspired by eclectic LA glamour and the Californian sunshine and this seasons prints, pleats and geometric stripes.

The colour palette includes the softest marshmallow pink, dove grey and pistachio mixed with classic navy and rich black."
Pictures we've seen so far show the collection to have more of a graphic, 80s spin than previous offerings from Gold.

The reaction from fashion bloggers to this point has been very hit and miss for Giles' foray into the high street, but perhaps Aggy's help will make a change for the better?
