Runway: Christopher Kane, Fall 08
Christopher Kane is a London-based designer, who graduated from Central Saint Martin College of Art in 2005. He quickly became a household name after his MA collection won him the Harrods Design Award which consisted of showcasing the collection in one of Harrods windows. His next collection consisted of short bandage dresses in neon which was critically acclaimed for it’s major contributions to the “fluoro” trend in the Summer of 2007. Kane has worked as a consultant for Versace, created a capsule collection for Topshop, and is now collaborating with Lancome to create a limited edition Juicy Tube lip gloss called “Burns Night” set to launch later this month.
His Fall 2008 show showcased more of the genius that is Christopher Kane. His tight bodice style dresses were flirtier than usual and were adorned with large circular sequence in colors of red, grey, and beige. Containing with his bondage look, models in body hugging knits walked down the runway. This collection is looser than his previous and shows versatility in fabric selection and the use of feminine shapes.
