London Fashion Week, Fall 2008: Christopher Kane

FabSugar — Wed, 13 Feb 2008 07:00:22 -0800

London darling Christopher Kane has gone mad for paillettes. While you will also see lots of sheerness in his Fall collection, the two textures complement each other brilliantly. Texture play is a major theme for Kane and proving to be one of his strengths.

The dresses are the winners here, with their fluid lines and interesting compositions. The separates - boxy jackets and flared skirts - are more wearable than previous collections of his. The jackets in particular have an armor-like beading that creates high drama. And those, paillettes; Kane couldn't get enough, and neither can I.

London Fashion Week, Autumn/Winter 2008: Christopher Kane

FabSugarUK — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 15:21:44 -0800

As London Fashion Week continues in to day three hot young designer Christopher Kane presented his latest offering at The University of Westminster. The Scotish born designer has recently launched his collection with High Street giant Topshop and was subject to high expectations following the success of his previous collections. This season his collection moved in a new, slightly more grown up direction with references to his native country and plenty of applique.

He remained true to body-con dresses but added to his staple piece with sheer layers. The flapper dresses are sure to be a big seller and a red carpet hit. It seems like this is a much more accessible collection from Kane that mainly consisted of neutral and monochrome tones. The disc applique, which appears on a majority of the collection, is perfect for the party season. How do you think this collection compares to previous ones?

Spring Peek: Laid-back

FabSugar — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 14:00:22 -0800

If you're not off venturing to exotica or taking risks with avant-garde and the funky bunch, maybe you'd rather stay home and be laid-back. Spring has a diverse group of trends for us to eat up and those seeking solstice can feast their eyes here. Light fabrics and relaxed silhouettes were elegant on the Spring runways - such was the case at Emporio Armani (pictured) where girls looked beyond cool. Laid-back and super stylish? Yeah baby.

Backstage Beauty: Christopher Kane

BellaSugar — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:00:11 -0700

Last week at the Christopher Kane fashion show in London, the clothing colors were soft and romantic in light blues, muted greys and nudes. Fittingly, the makeup look was clean and fresh-to the point of it looking almost bare-faced.

Skin was matte, lips were flushed and cheeks had that natural, just-pinched look. Makeup artist Gucci Westman used Lancome products to create a look from the 1976 film Carrie. (That is, Sissy Spacek's look before the bloody prom.) If you like what you see, you'll be happy: Rumor has it that Christopher Kane and Lancome are working on a fun makeup project together for 2008!

For a four-step guide and a complete list of products used to create this look, read more

Step 1: Use only a touch of Lancome Aqua Fusion Cream on the skin and then tissue it off to create a matte, natural look.
Step 2: By adding a touch of Magique Blush in Cinnamon Glaze to your face, you can help contour your cheekbones. Start off with a light dust and blend well. Remember, you can always add more if you want to.
Step 3:Then add some Primordiale Optimum Lip to enhance your natural lip color. If this just doesn't feel like enough color, you can also add some Color Design Blush in Pret A Plum to the lips.
Step 4: For a touch of definition, add a light layer of Color Design Eye Shadow in Click to your creases. Again, blend well.

London Fashion Week, Spring 2008: Christopher Kane

FabSugar — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 06:00:22 -0700

After 23 of his Spring collection pieces were stolen from his studio just a little over a week ago, Christopher Kane set out to recreate everything, with only days before his presentation. Many would have folded under such pressure, but Kane pulled it off.

The 25-year-old designer presented a ruggedly feminine rock'n'rolly collection full of python printed chiffon, ripped denim, and ruffles galore. Although he's only shown a couple of times since graduating from design school, Kane quickly became associated with body conscious, up-to-there mini dresses. This collection was a departure from that silhouette: skirts were tiered, sweatshirts baggy, and everything was more loosened up. In summary, this garb was definitely not what was expected, but that just keeps everyone on their toes.

London Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Christopher Kane

FabSugar — Wed, 14 Feb 2007 17:06:44 -0800

Christopher Kane was one of the breakthrough talents from the Spring collections. This young lad apprenticed at Versace, which explains his trademark body hugging designs. But he definitely has a 'je ne sais quoi.' I can picture a sassy, svelte lady in his creations - Victoria Beckham perhaps?

His Spring collection razzled with bold colors and dazzled with nuanced ruffles. He translated this aesthetic to Fall quite clearly if you ask me. Punchy colors as well as browns and blacks will make everyone happy. Key materials were leather and velvet, sometimes separate, sometimes married. Glitter lovers will adore his glittering, slim sweater dresses. I was taken by this glittering red velvet off shoulder dress with fingerless sleeves. His tight pleated trims were a bit overpowering sometimes, as well as the large rhinestone closures - but when minimal they were simply fab. It will be very interesting indeed to see where Mr. Kane goes next.
