It's hard to image him ever doing "regular" clothes, but CHRISTOPHER KANE, famous for his multi-aesthetic tinkering, made a slight departure from his norm for Pre-Fall. This is a season typically ambiguous for pinpointing a dress code, but things seemed to come easily for the London-based designer.
Placing an emphasis on staples such as the LBD, the LBJ (little black jacket), the slouchy sweater, and even the hoodie, Kane tricked them out in rich, gem-hued snakeskins and unassuming zip-offs.
Human skin was yet another element in Kane's engineering. Take the ABSTRACT FRILL ROUND NECK DRESS in black: The zippers around the waist and across the chest can be undone, revealing an exposed upper thigh or bare shoulder blade. In another version of the frock (the SNAKESKIN BOTTOM BODYCON DRESS), Kane applied a cyan snakeskin print from the knee to the chest, only to be offset by a fade-to-black around the shoulders.
Finally, Kane took the notion of luxury and rendered it sporty with the SNAKESKIN ALLOVER HOODIE and JOG PANTS in magenta. A sophisticated collection? Yes, but you don't have to save the thrill for evening (or the fall, for that matter)—all of it can be worn right now.
