The nuts and bolts of fashion: Christopher Kane Spring 2013

All photos taken from style.com

Christopher Kane's Spring RTW 2013 collection was as interesting as always. Pretty feminine dresses in sugar coated, pastels and glittered embellishments were created in fabrics of, it seems,  laser cut  and weaved plastics and, literally, bolted together, with over sized plastic screws. Sweet and dark seemed to come together in from some kind of Frankenstein inspiration.
I love looking at the Christopher Kane collections, as it is only on closer inspection that you see the detail. He works unimaginable fabrics in a fashion garment and makes it work each and every time. It is always unexpected !
That's all for now,

 This is my favourite show so far of Spring/Summer 2013 New York Fashion Week. I particularly like the use of lace, leather and the harness straps on each of the dresses. The look is urban, feminine and fetish all at the same time.
The harness element immediately seems a reference to, book of the moment Fifty shades..., however Helmut Newton has been cited as inspiration. The colour palette of mutued neutrals and black detailing is a welcome break from the sugar coated tones of Summer 2012. It feels fresh !
Lengths were long but with high splits and the delicate lace and sheer fabrics revealed moments of bare flesh.

I like this collection so much because its equal parts feminine and sexy.

Thats all for now,
Let me know your thoughts,
