Christopher Kane Collection
September 16, 2008
Christopher Kane RTW Spring 2009
Inspired by "The Planet of the Apes," "The Flintstones" and Raquel Welch, Christopher Kane’s spring collection wittily mined the animal kingdom. The results had some models looking sexy in red-and-yellow leopard intarsia sweaters, while others took on a reptilian air in chiffon minidresses with huge scalelike discs and scalloped edging. There were peach, black and deep orange chiffon robes with marabou trims, along with a black dress with a screen-printed gorilla and a pink chiffon one with black embroidered scales. The theme grew a little repetitive as the show wore on, and Kane’s scales worked better in light-as-air organza dresses than on heavy leather skirts, which were a touch awkward. Still, his original take on fashion keeps him one of London’s most buzzed-about designers.
