The Christopher Kane collection for fall this year uses a combination of styles and materials and cuts which shouldn't work together, but that is the beauty of the whole thing! We see leather body cons, biker jackets, PVC skirts and a mixture of reavealing sheer lace and ebroided lace. So there is a clear base to these pieces, a solid foundation of punk, rock and roll... YAWN, that would be far to boring! So instead there are huge, brightly coloured embroideries or flowers and forest shrubs. It's all rather like something you might see in an illustrated version of fairy stories such as red riding hood or Hansel and Gretel, symbolic of innocence and beauty, which contrasts with the tough materials they are applied too, yet the style of them is undeniably like gothic, medieval tapestries. In some cases, high neck lines and china blue coloured detailing, we see a slightly oriental inspiration, which maybe be for the purpose simply to entirely throw us of track and juxtapose the whole grunge biker chick look.
Some of Kane's inspiration for his Versus for Donatella Versace, wich I featured below, has slipped in to his name brand too. We see the superman inspired underwear on the outside trend, with a bit of sexy lingerie shape around the bust on a few dresses.
