Christopher Kane showed his fall ready to wear line at London Fashion Week and it was lovely. Kane said he took a black marker and sketched out the ideas for the collection and it shows in the spare, architectural, fitted shapes, which were adorned with geometric black velvet lines, optical illusions and black bordered silk ruffle. The hemlines were generally just above the knee and the cocktail dresses were very feminine and pretty, but with a bit of an edge to them.
Kane says he loves cashmere and it showed with some very nice sweaters. The palette for the collection was based on black and neutrals, but he also created ribbon dresses with shades of gold, pink and violet. Anna Piaggi of Italian Vogue sat in the front row, as did Twiggy. Kanye West also attended, but got there late and had to stand for the show. Take a look:
