His first collection under the brand of Giles Deacon, which was subsequently renamed to Giles, was presented in 2004 at the Chelsea Pensioner's Club at the Royal Hospital in Chelsea. The collection became a sensation and was bought by Harvey Nichols, Liberty and Selfridges.
In 2004 Giles signed a contract with the company New Look, becoming a design consultant for New Look Gold in retail sales. He also worked for 3 years as the Creative Director for the Italian luxury outerwear brand Fay, which is part of Tod's Group.
During the following years, Giles won numerous awards: British Fashion Awards named him "Best New Designer" in 2004, then Elle did the same in February 2005. In 2006 Giles won the nomination for "British Designer of the Year" at the British Fashion Awards, and in 2009 received the award from GQ as "Fashion Designer of the Year."
