Everyone wears t-shirts and they are no longer relegated to off-day wear. From children to famous designers, people adore the comfort of t-shirts and polo shirts too. If you look closely you will find people wearing these leisure clothes even to expensive galas simply by adding a few fashion accessories.

Designer Giles Deacon is a British fashion designer and he agreed to give an interview one day. What was he wearing? He was wearing jeans and one of his white t-shirts as he spoke about his training and career in the world of fashion. The interview was held in the V&A Museum in one of the lecture halls. He chooses to wear jeans and t-shirts because as he said, “I can’t bear the over-pretentiousness of things.”

Mr. Deacon was born in Darlington, County Durham in 1969 which is a decidedly practical and down-to-earth place to grow up. It would not seem to be an easy transition to the world of fashion, but his background gave him the solid foundation he needed to stay on track as he pursued his career is fashion designing. He attended Central Saint Martins College of Art & Design.

Mr. Deacon began his career as an assistant to French designer Jean Charles de Castelbajac. He also designed for other successful labels such as Louis Vuitton, Ralph Lauren, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci. Eventually he began his own label in 2004. Within two years he was named the British Designer of the Year. His fashion show during London Fashion Week is always sold out and attended by various celebrities. But his childhood principles are still evident in his approach to the fickle world of fashion. He as quoted as saying, “(His collections are) not for wallflowers. I design clothes to be confidence givers. I want people to feel good in them.”

Next time you reach for a designer fashion in your closet, don’t forget the plain t-shirt. It makes a statement all its own.
