LONDON, United Kingdom — When Giles Deacon developed a set of chic correspondence cards, each with a signature Giles sketch, in collaboration with Smythson earlier this year, the first batch sold out in just one day — on both sides of the Atlantic. For all you hard core Giles fans, the cards appear to have been re-ordered and are now available for sale again.

On Monday, February 9, Chapter II will be released here on The Business of Fashion and on www.swarovskisparkles.tv.

Stay tuned.
