Scottish designer Christopher Kane has signed to do his biggest collection yet with Topshop. Previously, he produced a collection for Topshop after the success of his first collection in Spring/Summer 2007. And the new collection, release will be in late August, is already causing excitement among the fashion savvy.
Christopher is also excited: “This is more than a capsule collection. It’s proper: with bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses. It’s nothing like any other work I’ve done in the past. Everything is a bit “wow”. But If I tell you any more, I’ll be giving the theme away. There might be some color, some embellishment. It’s full of surprises. Put it this way we did the designs, sent away our drawings and when the samples came back last week they looked brilliant. Girls are gonna go crazy for it!’

Simply amazing cut-out shoes that were first spotted on the runway of Christopher Kane’s Fall 2008 collection and are now on the streets of Paris. You have to handed it to Manolo, he knows a good shoe.

20 years after Gianni Versace launched the Versus diffusion line – and five years after the last collection – Donatella Versace has revived the label.
At a presentation in Milan this Sunday, Donatella and collaborator Christopher Kane debuted accessories for Fall/Winter 2009.
Dazed & Confused reported that this year’s line “draws direct inspiration from the back catalog of Versus and includes super high black platform heels with bold diamond detailing, black geometric calfskin bags, chunky bejeweled Chelsea boots and opulent crystal jewelry.” So it seems to be a mix honest to both designer’s styles.
Versus will release men’s and women’s clothing in Spring 2010.

Speaking recently of prepared designers, Christopher Kane produced a Fall 2009 collection that was more than ready for the runway. Straying away from feminine brights and glitters used in previous collections, Kane infused a bit of masculinity into his fall line of primarily grays, creams and blacks. The horizontal and vertical lines of Kane’s ribbon applique dresses created several pieces worth remembering (and purchasing…fingers crossed!) Even simple looks like Kane’s spiral skirt and plaid sweater created a boyish appeal, sure to be replicated come Fall! As shown on the runway, virtually all of these pieces look amazing with either a pair of oxfords or gladiator pumps. Kudos Kane, you’ve done it again!
