Christopher Kane ... on SD

a new column i'll start about my favourite fashion lables and their appearance on SD. as i once said on stardoll every piece of pixel fabrics you buy is a copy of a real life design by the most magnificent fashion houses with a long tradtion, and i really have the feeling that most of the little dollies don't know about it. that is not a crime especially when you only 13 years old, but at the age of 13 my obsession for the beautiful clothes seen on my mothers vogue started to grow. so i though it could be fun to tell you about some designers i adore and the stardoll team also does as those appear more often at starbazaar.


CHRISTOPHER KANE
~ ... to go as bright as possible ~


i'll start with a young star of the fashion world, the british wunderkind christopher kane. as a former student of the famous central saints martin collage of art and design, kane is part of a number of famous designer who started thier carrier at this univeristy. soon donatella versace get interested in kanes work at univeristy and hired him as soon as he finished. 

on the wave of his succsess he also launched his own lable which today is an admitted fashion line. i first got interested in kanes work as i saw his 2011 resort collection. the space print also made their way to our little starplaza:

soon in his carreer DORNATELLA VERSACE hired kane to work vor versace, and later in 2009 she transmits him the responsibility for the younger sister line VERSUS. in the last summer months the popular tribute stores arrived at SD for the second time and versus were also one of theses special stores.

as you can see christoper kane always has this really faminine shapes and uses the contrast of colors (he uses the typical pattern of english school uniforms but chooses colors which pushes this pattern in an abstract and extrem way) to create a nearly disformed atmosphere, something we can also see at his well known spring ready to wear collection for his own lable, in which he chooses granny like fabrics for example knit and lace, long cut pencil skirts and knit jackets but soused them into neon colors what has an awsome effect of turning these oldfashioned clothes in a future century dress code.

the collection was a huge succsess and i think it deserves to be so. the latest clothes of christopher kanes lable you can find at starplaza were part of the fall 2011 collection, at this time i think they are a bit too expensive but we see it's not only me how is totally in love with this genius. i hope you've learned a bit about christopher kane and it may inspires you. 

keep edgy and keep rad !
