Christopher Kane Sends Out Gingham Girls for Spring 2010

>> A few days ago, Christopher Kane dropped an image of a doll he did over the summer as a hint at his Spring 2010 collection, adding that he channeled it "not in the literal sense, but more of a feeling."  To a front row of Natalia Vodianova with Anna Wintour and Topshop's Sir Philip Green squeezed between Donatella Versace and Allegra Beck Versace, the end product came out all gauzy gingham in black and pastel colors, symmetrical front slits up to there, and Swarovski embellished floral brocade.  

Jenny Shimizu walked in a tailored suit apparently made in collaboration with Savile Row tailors Norton & Sons; Lara Stone, who skipped New York Fashion Week altogether, made her first runway appearance of the day — her second was at Jaeger.  And Kane, a self-professed fan of television, sent everyone home with a Gossip Girl season two DVD in their gift bags.

This morning marks the arrival of the Christopher Kane for Topshop collection in stores and online. As expected, the Scottish designer held nothing back, creating a cornucopia of body-con frocks, slinky tees, leggings, jackets, and denim. To take it up a notch, Christopher utilized eyelets, leather, fringe, and funky prints to show off his edgy-pop attitude. If you're lucky enough to be near a store, pop in and check out the collection. If not, sit back, relax and enjoy the show . . .

Whitney Port shined from head to toe on the red carpet at the MTV VMAs. Her peek-a-boo organza bustier dress showed off her figure and worked perfectly with black suede ankle boots and simple accessories. Although this Christopher Kane dress isn't exact, it definitely has a similar vibe to Whit's, so shop it all now!

>> Don't Be Surprised if Christopher Kane Has a TV-Inspired Collection —Christopher Kane prefers not to do his designing at his 4,000 square foot east London studio, but rather at home in front of the TV: “Television’s brilliant.” His sister, Tammy Kane, who is instrumental to the business, agrees: “It relaxes you, doesn’t it?” The two do everything together, even vacationing with their boyfriends (Christopher's been seeing Declan Tomany, a lawyer, for four years), but they're currently disagreeing — Tammy wants to bring in a designer to help with the workload: “I know he doesn’t want it.

I Love Your ShopStyle: Wedding Talk

Flamboyant2 and I must be on the same wavelength. We both have nuptials to attend, so that means shopping for a snazzy ensemble. All this wedding talk inspired me to feature her picture-perfect outfit. I'm absolutely smitten with the artsy disc dress because it's simultaneously girlie and modern. The velvet bow purse is ideal for cross-body function and the embellished sandals are perfect for dancing the night away!

First Look: Christopher Kane for Topshop

>> Topshop was being super secretive about the highly-anticipated, raved-about Christopher Kane for Topshop collection, but Lucky was finally able to snap three pictures; the collection looks to be full of black, grommets, leather fringe, lace, and tulle.  It sounds like the 39-piece collection — which includes shoes and accessories like this $300 grommeted leather bucket bag — will be in stores in October instead of September as previously reported, with prices running in the $80-$300 range.

UPDATE: Apologies, it sounds like the photo embargo wasn't lifted and won't be until September, so the images had to be taken down.

Christopher Kane Debuts Nuclear First Cruise Collection for 2010

>> Christopher Kane was just shooting the lookbook for his first ever pre-collection with Alla Kostromicheva last week, and now it's available for the looking.

>> Christopher Kane was just shooting the lookbook for his first ever pre-collection with Alla Kostromicheva last week, and now it's available for the looking. The sparkly chokers he had on set didn't make the final cut, but no matter — the dresses stand alone. Their mushroom cloud prints were derived from nuclear test images Christopher found on the UK Ministry of Defense's website: "I'm so fed up with florals . . .  I like the crazy-bright chemical colors [of the images]. The way they're sinister — but beautiful."  The dresses will sell, but the shoes aren't up for grabs: "We didn't have any shoes, so we cobbled them together ourselves with gaffer tape and whatnot in the studio."
