>> Giles Deacon, Acne Headed to London Fashion Week -As speculated, Giles Deacon, who will be showing his first collection for Ungaro during the upcoming Paris Fashion Week, is bringing his own label back to London Fashion Week: "I'm really excited. It seemed like a good idea to bring my own label back to London. I don't like the idea of doing two things in one city." And Acne's creative director Jonny Johansson will be joining him with his label's debut London Fashion Week show for Spring 2011, to be held at Lord Snowdon's apartment at Kensington Palace: "We used to show in Sweden but no one ever came and the London fashion scene is very interesting. I think it attracts a good set of people." [Vogue UK, Vogue UK]
