Christopher Kane Loves Triangles. Somebody call the hipster police
Glitter corsets were dished up with a sea of black leather and wool for Versus fall 2011. If someone told you they wanted the boning in their corset to be coated in glitter you'd probably ask where they buy their crack and make a mental note to hide the hot glue gun and macaroni elbows.
But Christopher Kane (and sibling partner in fashion crime Tammy Kane) is one of those designers that you have to trust because he knows how to handle some janky fabrics. Take a look at his own line for fall and you'll see crochet blanket inspired skirts and plastic trimmed dresses filled with sparkly liquid. On paper his work is highly questionable but once you see it you die.
The collection also featured a glitter triangle print so it's hipster approved because hipsters fucking love triangles.
LARA + VERSUS = TOTES AMAZE
The fragrance was originally released in 1992 but has been updated. I love that Versus is getting a makeover and who better to do it than Christopher Kane right?
VERSUS SPRING 2010
I always find the relationship between Donatella Versace and Christopher Kane quite odd. On the surface she seems so uber-freak and he so geeky Scottish dude that I can’t connect the dots. For Kane’s debut collection back in Spring 2007, Versace donated shoes for the show. She’s now found solid faith in his work that he now designs Versus, which was Donatella’s baby back in the days when Gianni Versace was still alive.
I think it’s great that Versus is back and Kane did a nice collection of short, sexy dresses with cut-outs and those ubiquitous safety pins that launched the career of Elizabeth Hurley all those years ago. The most interesting feature was a sleeve that had the top layer cut out only leaving the underside still intact. It was quite a dressmaking feat, even Kane had to admit he couldn’t have made something like that in London. This is definitely the beginning of something special.
