Olympic Style

If pressed I think most people would admit that they're quite partial to a bit of sparkle. Even the super chic Victoria Beckham deigned to ride atop a sparkling London cab in the blockbuster closing to the Olympics but what really caught my eye were the great costumes throughout. Of course Giles Deacons gowns for the spice girls were unparalleled. Beckham's black, what appeared to be stripped organza dress was particularly fetching as was Mel B's bedazzled body suit - a sign that the British designer is not adverse to a sequin or too. However, the costumes of the greater mass of performers were equally as jaunty and impressive. It was a showcase of British style from Deacon and McQueen to top shop and top man inspired ensembles. If anything the Olympics demonstrated that there is a distinctly British style today that can still turn heads.
