London designer Christopher Kane is defiantly no ordinary designer. For seasons he's dazzled by mixing unexpected fabrics, introducing fresh ideas and most importantly selling clothes that are both commercial and contemporary. He is one of those designers that couldn't be more talked about, more loved or more exposed, and it just keeps on coming. For his first pre-fall collection he was inspired by images of nuclear explosions from the 50s and 70s, the result - chemical and slightly rusted coloured clouds printed onto adorable cut out baby Doll and Georgette frocks. Christopher's floaty dresses were hardened with black piping and soft leather jackets but i must say almost give a de-ja vu effect. Remember Christopher Kane's aw 07 collection and spring 08 chiffon that included Swarovski crystals, distressed denim and shrapnel chiffon all of which were present in the pre-fall10 collection. It's almost as if his ideas are recycled and then reworked into another collection. Overall pre fall was a fashion directors inspiration and a buyers cash cow. whilst everyone else this resort season opted for floral Christopher mind set was elsewhere proving that you don't need to show in Paris to wow like Balenciaga.
