I love that he is always chasing something new for every season.

..although I think he failed this season. But appreciate his efforts in not being boring, which he certainly isnt.

i don't like it....i tried, but i really don't

This is so outrageously bad.

I'm really liking it. The prism print is interesting and used cleverly. I know some designers that would milk it completely, but I like the way he's moderated it.

i love the ROYGBIV idea! can't wait to see how he translates this to his T-shirt and cotton dress pieces for resort.

Gay pride!

One of my favourite resort collections. I love how he always tackles and actually stays with it throughout the whole collection unlike some designers.

I saw this yesterday and I fell in love instantly. I like every piece of this collection, he figured out how to mix rainbow AND metallic without looking tacky.

I love it. So Kane. The fabric, the colors. I would wear a lot of it.

anarcobitch · 30-06-2011

i'd totally wear the third and fourth dresses! and the purse is amazing.

MUST have this jacket!

For a resort collection this is sensational. I genuinely never thought rainbow could be made fashionable.

Master Wood · 30-06-2011

and thanks thejarc for the wonderful images.

I'd take issue that there's anything particularly new here for Kane.

It's essentially another meditation on lava lamps following on from AW11/12 spliced with the pleather lace and colour on black ideas from recent collections.

But - the pleather lace bell-bottoms aside (which were [I]so[I] unflattering) - I do think this is a better collection than AW11/12. It's more interesting, more flamboyant. And, it seems to me, created with a freer hand.

I liked the borrowing of the rocket shape that you get with some lava lamps into some of the silhouettes. That also calls to mind those ice lollies from childhood. And continues the play on hot and cold that we saw in AW11/12 with the fluid panels that heat up with the body.

For SS12 I wouldn't mind seeing these rocket lolly silhouettes, the rainbow colour, and bring back the heat reactive fluid stuff but in larger panels or whole garments if possible. That could be cool hot future psychedelia bodycon.
