There are two reasons for Giles Deacon to be happy now: He's expecting to quadruple sales and, over the next year, increase his stockists from 40 to 140. That's thanks to a production and delivery deal he's just signed with Castor Srl, best known for turning out 6267 products.

This comes in the face of sporadic but preliminarily good news from the fashion sector, where sales for brands like Armani and Hermes have been rising. Just Monday, designer Anya Hindmarch said she believes the industry could be on the upswing. We say, if any designer can beat the madness, we hope it's Giles.
