Christopher Kane has always gone for the “interesting”– stealing inspiration from the every day. Last season, his clothes were inspired by retro love dens, afghan blankets and lava lamps, which made for a sartorial shocker that was the talk of LFW. This season, he’s found inspiration in something more juvenile- the overwrought florals and glitters of awkward teenage girl’s bedrooms. While it may sound like those qualities might produce clothing more gauche than gorge, it was quite the opposite as Vogue cited Kane’s show as a sort of “defining moment” of the season. With shimmery brocades, sequined sheaths, and sexy cut-outs (let’s not also forget the clunky sandals that looked like haute couture Sketchers), you could understand the references to bedrooms, but were blown away by the effortless beauty these clothes represented. All in all, Kane created some of the most wanted dresses and separates I’ve seen yet.
