Christopher Kane Resort 2011

In a season where a designer can choose to play it safe and marketable, Christopher Kane will always push it forward while still remaining wearable and modern. For Resort 2011 cosmic space prints were the show's main focus, presented on t-shirts, dresses, and smooth leather jackets. Billowy chiffon, lightly printed, yolked out of the collar or waistline, giving the look a solar acidic element. Each look was complimented by a superb pair of sandals topped with a fuzzy faux- fur embellishments in light blue, dark red, pink or black. The funny sandals gave the show an outlook of hilarity that is always apparent in this creative young Londoner's collections. No matter the season nor the inspiration, one can always manage to be amazed, as well as confused, over his clothing and vision. Which is why it remains pristinely beautiful and whimsically light, on the runway and in store, every time around.

A thought


Hesitation. That feeling when we buy something we really like, expensive or not, and hesitate over where to wear it. We do this maybe to save the piece for a different occasion, or to keep it looking new. I used to be this way, but now I kindof don't realize the point. What if all of our 'special' pieces, the ones we save for pristine occasions, were used in our everyday ensembles? What if someone just took out their, say, Alexander Wang blazer or Manolo Blahnik sandals for a spin around town? What if we wore our favorite once-in-a-while clothes everyday. I guess we can, save the innapropriate Carrie Bradshaw cocktail dress in a park, but if you want, go ahead. It'd be pretty damn fabulous.

This is a piece I made last year, titled 'Dream Box.' It was inspired by Joseph Cornell and the hazy aspects of ones dreams. This is a mixed media box, including both 2-d and 3-d elements, from paper collage to the web of 'floating furniture.'

Thought I would share it with you, to interpret for yourself.
