Christopher Kane showed his A/W'11 collection today as a far more subtler incarnation of his usual style. Instead of royals on acid or neon bandage Kane showed a series of crocheted outfits, much like a subdued palette (much less glitter wool) of the House of Holland pieces seen a few days earlier. These came in fitted pencil skirts, low neckline maxi dresses and top sets.
Kane also created simple, well cut black dresses with colourful plastic detailing, almost like jewellery and a different take on the sheer trend with the designer himself referencing lava lamps as their inspiration. Wet look blue-hued leather pieces also made an appearance and there were recurring square patterns on much of the collection. Sheet sequin numbers made up the evening element of the collection , making the models look like ethereal mermaids as they shimmied and shimmered down the catwalk like a shoal with delicate colour graduation in the sequins.
Christopher Kane went for something grown-up and very wearable this season, without diminishing his credibility as an inventive young designer and the best of British.
