The first ever collection I fell in love with and will always be one of my favourites was Christopher Kane's spring summer 2009 collection, since then I have always kept a close eye in awe and adoration of the Scottish designer's uniquely amazing shows season after season. His A/W show was nothing short of spectacular; although questionably there were possibly too many ideas in one show, a few slightly heralding of previous autumn winter shows, however there was, like all of Kane's impeccable shows a plethora of standout looks and pieces.
With the monochromatic colour palette seen in a large majority of the shows in New York this was no different overseas at London Fashion Week. Kane's use of quirky "bin-bag" fabrics were fun and playful but totally wearable at the same time. The inclusion of fur within the collection, be it trims on skirts or dresses or whole fur coats, unsurprisingly divided fashion fans, however personally, I adore fur! Nothing says luxury or winter more than an excessive fur coat. The inclusion of the laser cut dresses and embellishments could potentially been reserved for a resort or pre-fall collection as they alone would be an eye opening array of beautiful pieces, they did however flow extremely well within the collection, taking the softness of the furs and the ruched and gathered dresses to the finale of the show where Kane debuted seven incredibly ornate mille feuille dresses in pink, black and white. Another incredible step forward for Christopher Kane as he firmly asserts his vision and creativity on London Fashion Week season after season.
