Bizarre I know, but yes I am going to have a go at blogging on women's fashion. I think this really is testament to just how great this collection by Christopher Kane for Topshop is - so much so that an uneducated bloke (well, only in terms of women's fashion) wants to write about it. (Hint, this maybe what other males might want to be chasing on nights out this Autumn!?)
Take a breath, and here it goes. Kane is a Glasgow-born London-based fashion designer who would appear to be starting out to great acclaim. As a Saint Martin's graduate I would imagine there comes a great level of expectation, but Kane seems un-phased by this - perhaps because whilst studying he won countless awards, and gained recognition from the likes of chief fashionista Donatella Versace.
This collection is playful, enticing, and even dare I say it, slightly industrial/tribal?! It is a very 'fitted' requiring a fluid figure, what with high-waisted skirts and tight bodycon dresses - (there is even an essential, in my opinion, short-shorts offering). Thigh-length dresses with an eyelet adornment would certainly draw any wandering glance.
Kane's excitable range highlights how Kate Moss is not a 'designer'. His creativity, coupled with controlled injections of colour, punching through a predominantly dark range make for a truly beautiful and elegant spectacle.
3 essential buys:
1. Navy Eyelet Mirror Baby Doll Dress
2. Black Eyelet Lace Dress
3. Black Croc Tee w/ Black Skinny Eyelet Jeans
