Christopher Kane Fall-Winter 2013-14 Fashion Show


Christopher Kane Autumn/Winter 2013-14 via: Videofashion

Given the cerebral nature of designer Christopher Kane, it was only appropriate that the Scottish fashion prodigy's Fall 2013 collection be inspired by an MRI scan of the human brain. Kane paid homage to his heritage while still satiating his propensity for insubordination, mixing kilts with camouflage, fabricating decorative high collars from coiled plastic, and "growing" feathers and flowers in all the right places on his filmy frocks. Brainy, brazen, and brilliant—see what else industry insiders had to say about Kane's latest creations ...

Mood/style:
a new course of things for Christopher Kane, who starts off by celebrating this new step as part of the PPR group with an oversized collection which holds all the fundamental themes of his look. From the irreverent punk spirit to deconstructed ultra -decorations, to severe tailoring which explores new proportions, to the surprising use of fabrics that renew neat shapes, to the unscrupulous use of colour, to the revisiting of his Scottish origins in an ironic light: a masterful and almost mannerist activity that speaks to a very well-formed talent, certainly ready for a superstar stellar future within the world of fashion

Lengths:
knee-length and mini

Colors:
black, grey, navy blue, light blue, bordeaux

Fabrics:
tartan, woolen felt, velvet, duchesse, rubber, nappa, organza, soutache, tulle, lace, fox, oversized sequins, feathers


Shapes:
exploration of shapes and constructions in a crescendo of stylistic elaborations. Opening the collection is an oversized coat in severe rectangular lines, from which follow a series of variations on the camouflage theme, ending up with ultra-decorated pieces, where embroidery and appliqués explode to completely transform surfaces. Generous volumes in jackets and sweaters, pronounced shoulders, oversized pants, dresses with form-fitting silhouettes

Accessories:
booties, mary-janes and pumps with mini belts in black patent leather and velvet with block heels; chelsea boots in patent leather with flat heels
