simple but effective

Oh the fluffy shoes make me

I like the prints but it's far, far too similar to what he's done before.

The prints are beautiful for sure but it's cruise 2011!!! and why those shoes? The outfits and the shoes are like from two different collections. Surprise for 2011? I hope this will not become a trend.

The Nebula prints are so amazing that the simplicity of the clothes doesn't bother me, actually.

Don't get the shoes at all, though.

i don't care if it's gorilla prints, mushroom clouds, cowboy prints, or nebula, this man has a talent for using fun and edgy prints. that cardigan is heaven....literally.

 

[BibiRose]

The prints are nice and that's all...

Just like with his resort collection last year, I hate that these clothes are entirely reliant on a photographic print to make an impact. There's something lazy about the fact that, once the prints were made, these clothes required little to no actual thought.

 

[Versace-Goddess]

I actually like the collection so far, except the shoes- so tacky.

 

[cavanaugh]

so commercial, it hurts.

LONDON, July 12, 2010

By Tim Blanks

"I like to be as focused as possible," says Christopher Kane, which is why his collections always have such a strong, clear quality. Resort was no exception. Following on from last Spring's bomb motifs, he opted for flaring nebulae, as seen by the Hubble telescope. He explained that he liked "the idea of explosive outwards expansion" (a nice metaphor for what's happening with his business), but all that cosmic hyperactivity also yielded some great prints (translating beautifully into silk cashmere knitwear, too), with plenty of the interplay between light and darkness that's a Kane signature.

Nothing showcased that kind of contrast better than a biker jacket in chiffon with a frilled skirt attached. Kane offered the same piece in black leather, an accent carried over from Fall in high-waisted shorts, a bustier, or the bodice attached to an organza gazar skirt. Gazar also featured in a long princess skirt, gathered at the waist so it flared out. Mid-thigh, it zipped in half to become a skating skirt. Same with the halter-necked version, which Kane called a "housewife dress," though it was anything but suburban in its fiery print of cosmic catastrophe—a desperate-housewife dress, perhaps?

Those full, flaring lengths and the palazzo volume of the pants were experiments with new silhouettes for Kane, perhaps not entirely successful in comparison to the Barbarella-sleek line of his baby dolls and drop-waisted T-shirt dresses, where his focus was steely. By the way, Kane named his shoes for Barbarella—maribou-trimmed Zanotti platforms, ironic bordering on camp, and a joy to behold.

I hate colors and prints used. they make clothes looking poor.

 

[AdaK]

I'm trying hard to look at the clothes, but my geek brain keeps yelling with joy, "HUUUUBBLLLE!"

 

[happyguy]

i love the colours when you see the small thumbprints of the entire collection. the colours really jump out at you. but up close, more blah from kane. a chiffon biker jacket with frill attached is not cool, just student and tacky fashion wear.

[justlooking]

this is like a 'worst of' collection. I didn't like any of his atom bomb stuff either.

 

[maxlinden]

those prints are mesmerizing, i love every single one but the clothes look a bit doubty, like it was very just thrown together
even the the leather jacket looked cheap and unappealing

 

[sobriquet87]

This collection is definitely unique and intriguing...but it's not his best.

It's very...2001: A Space Odyssey.
