Jaeger Check out Pixie Lott wearing Boutique by Jaeger after performing on Daybreak on Friday. Jasper Garvida Giselle Top Most girls have longed to emulate the grace and elegance of a ballerina. For Spring Summer 2011, Jasper Garvida has made that fantasy a reality, by channeling the sophistication and innocence found at the ballet, into the Giselle top. However, don’t be fooled by its girly façade, the Giselle top will give you a killer silhouette that will make you feel all woman. Made from silk organza the Giselle top mirrors the kind of spectacular movement that can normally only be achieved by donning your finest tutu!
