Christopher Kane

“In every fashion city there is one designer that turns their face against the prevailing trend and sets an entirely new agenda. In London we have Christopher Kane. The whimsical florals from his summer collection are still reverberating as a key influence on the catwalks of New York and he has simply picked up his pastoral vision and cast a gothic shadow over it, which leaves the competition standing.” —Paula Reed, Grazia Daily

“Christopher Kane’s latest collection from London is truly worth obsessing over. By some magical combination of black leather, velvet and chiffon, he gives a three-dimensional quality to his patterns and textures.” —Cathy Horyn, On The Runway
