Outer Space Motif Dress By Christopher Kane
|
On 16 September 2008, Kane showcased his fifth collection, this time building upon his previous theme of circular sequins which "had grown into even bigger circles of chiffon and leather that rippled like scales around the models or created scalloped contours down their bodies to oscillating – and very short – hemlines." Inspired by "Planet of the Apes" and "The Flintstones", it was met with similar praise from fashion critics. Commercially, the collection was a massive success, selling out within 24 hour of launch on Net-A-Porter.com on 13 February 2009.
Kane presented his sixth collection on 21 February 2009, a show labelled as another "Best Ever". The collection featured nude chiffon dresses and was praised for its construction as a more mature offering. He also collaborated with Versace, producing a capsule collection of accessories for the younger Versus (Versace) line showcased on 2 March 2009. Donatella Versace later compared him to her late brother Gianni Versace. Kane is reported to have called Donatella Versace a "diva", a title she "relishes", during the design process of his first full collection for the Versus line to be showcased in September 2009.
In 2009 and 2010, Kane also collaborated with a professional British haircare brand Catwalk by TIGI to create an advertising campaign for the brand's three new product collections.
