The country's most exciting young designer cemented his place in a supergroup of global fashion designers at London Fashion Week today.
Christopher Kane unveiled a collection inspired by explosions in the brain which delighted press and buyers from across the globe who travelled to the capital to attend his show.
Guests included Salma Hayek and Donatella Versace, who has supported Kane since he graduated from Central Saint Martins in 2006.
Taking an MRI scan as one of his key points of reference, the designer unveiled dresses crafted from delicately embroidered piping, ripped silk flowers and coats which fastened with patent buckle details. Haunting black feathers served as seams on architectural dresses.
Sweaters printed with a brain scan motif were worn with swinging black kilts.
A series of cocoon shaped camouflage print coats, skirts and dresses with extenuated shoulders opened the show.
"The brain works in mysterious ways" said Kane backstage, adding: "I just had to get all the ideas out".
The designer, who sold a 51 per cent stake of his business to fashion conglomerate PPR earlier this year, said he wanted the collection to appear "magical but also frightening too".
