Celtic Craft
“Hand-embroidery is an art,” says designer Christopher Kane of his latest collection. “But we see so much of it done in a conventional way. I wanted to make it a little more perverse by adding the leather and the black lace.” With a show that walked the line between intricate yet edgy, Kane adorned PVC, leather and lace with an abundance of poppies, daisies and thistles. A look accessorised with mid-calf, lace-up black boots.
Shift dresses, tunics and skirts were given a hint of Glastonbury Tor with artfully embroidered rainbow coloured crystals. Whilst peek-a-boo lace worn with leather added oomph to night-time dressing. We certainly can’t recall a time when flora and fauna needlework provoked such a thrill.
