Excerpt: CHRISTOPHER KANE. SPRING 2023 - LONDON FASHION WEEK
"...Citing the Spring 2023 array as a protest against anti-abortion rules spreading across America, it does indeed suggest that there is an effort of ultra-conservatives to solidify a more rigidly controlled society. Kane has maintained his deconstruction styles of the feminine, whilst rebuilding onto his signature label template, likening his Spring 2023 collection to her enduring strength. While being cursed with the monotheistic affliction as the temptress, she carries the burden of mourning life and death. The foolish and reckless behavior of man. Can Kane assist in our liberation from our broken template of conservative values?
As a counter culture maintains its illusiveness, in light of a world that is descending rapidly into a chaotic period of history, with economically things have come undone, with Kane offering a Zennist prose in its simplicity, “Flowers are symbolic of love and death. It was all these things: celebration or condolence,” in describing the beautiful floral prints of sheer tops and one price mini skirts. His latest styles hold a poignant power of desire. So it can be said, the collection does offer that liberating presence, allowing the styles on show to reflect a delicate and blunt impression. Kane's balance lies in the degrees of eroticism from see-through latex, to, which is a first for Kane, into a confronting medical fetishism, portrayed as a the dissection of human form, seen on full length and thigh-high slip dresses. The 2023 collection certainly feels more risqué and avant-garde for Kane, setting itself between prosthetic inspired bondage arrays with its romanticism of lace and flowers."
