Christopher Kane The Great

One of my favourite British Designers, Christopher Kane has done it again, this time with a twist of Frankenstein? Mary Shelley's Frankenstein believe it or not was Kane's inspiration for his SS 2012 show, in particular the 'nuts and bolts.' And nuts and bolts he did use, with folds created on dresses in clean cut lines, and were fastening's once lied, actual bolts replaced them.
One clean crisp white Jacket resembled something of a straight jacket, with a belt cut in at the waist, but feminised with a white quilt-like texture. With a colour palette consisting of whites, buttercup yellows and pale pinks, the feminine colours met hard with the Frankenstein theme of 'nuts and bolts'. Frills, bows, layering of materials and antique-like Jewels were also used among these ideas, again clashing with the creative theme, yet working oh so well. Textures other than the quilted material as mentioned in the Jacket which opened the show, as well as the plastic looking substance shown below. Nuts and bolts replaced buttons, cufflinks, handles of handbags and were placed on shoulders-anywhere and everywhere.
The creativity of this man has gone through the roof, combining femininity and Frankenstein, not your everyday match, and somehow made it desirable to the female eye. Can not wait for the A/W 2012 collection, only time will tell what will come down the catwalk for that collection. Can't wait.
