Three years back, Christopher Kane brought skin-tight, body-conscious’ trend at London Fashion Week. But now, he’s back with his more sweeter, and more feminine collection for spring/summer 2010, shown under Topshop NewGen umbrella yesterday at LFW.
Kane, 27, dropped thigh-high trend he once favored, and which was predominated at New York Fashion Week last week, by lowering hemlines to a refined, on-the-knee level. Gone were the days when sprayed-on, lingerie-looks in fluorescent lace; rock-chick velvets and snake-skins were in. But, American-gingham dresses, in pink, navy and chocolate, spruced-up as Sunday Best, has covered them all, while gospel music played on soundtrack.
Taking his cue from Brigitte Bardot circa 1956 and young women of America’s great Midwest, Kane offered up a collection that was both wholesome and fierce. Calling all girls – naughty and nice, he toyed Bardot’s signature gingham pattern on to chiffon and silk, in delicate shades of beige, white and pastel blue.
The American Pie modesty was enhanced by pinafore effects, puffed sleeves, and an emphasized bosom, something which is emerging as a major new sway at this 25th anniversary of London Fashion Week. Have a look at collection!
