I may be biased as he's my best friend, but I thought the Giles show was AMAZING and contained touches of absolute genius.  After winning the ANDAM award two seasons ago one of the stipulations was that Giles had to move his catwalk show to Paris.  His extremely welcome return as top dog in London fashion went down a storm.

Giles' incredible eye astounds me
