Summary
Young and talented British designer Christopher Kane's upcoming collection was watched by supermodel Naomi Campbell on Monday, who was heard saying British talent should be coming back to London, one of the world's fashion capitals.Speaking to another spectator at the show she was heard saying: ''Brilliant getting our designers back, can't lose any more of them. Kane is mainly known for his dresses, but this season he wanted to challenge himself further by using florals and reinventing them by giving them a perverse and sexy twist. Using a dark colour palette which was spruced up by the colourful flowers embroidered on the garments, Kane said designing for every season gets even more challenging. But as he gathers momentum and his popularity rises, he stressed his feet are firmly on the ground. As a young designer who showcases in London, Kane said it's the fact that he doesn't have access to a huge budget like designers in Milan or Paris which enables his work to be so good. Established British designer Paul Smith displayed an uplifting winter collection in contrast to Kane's dark and moody tones. The first model stepping on to the catwalk wore a bright yellow top, and other colours included light pinks, lilac and bright red. Smith said this collection was all to do with aristocracy coming together with punk. London Fashion Week comes to a close on Wednesday.
