London Fashion Week Best Shows: Christopher Kane Show and Erdem Moralioglu Show

London Fashion Week: Christopher Kane and Erdem Moralioglu are two of the most exciting designers. Monday was a real high point, with shows by two designers around: Christoper Kane and Erdem.

Fashion Show

The Christopher Kane show was one of the hottest tickets at London fashion week.

Jess Cartner-Morley, the Guardian’s fashion editor, said: “Kane’s collection of black leather and lace overstitched with meadow flowers and crystal starbursts, balanced androgynous touches (schoolboy-style shirt collars) with tight tailoring and lashings of bare thigh”.

The venue was packed with celebrities and fashion’s movers and shakers.

The designer said his inspiration was a pubescent Priscilla Presley, “before Elvis got his hands on her”.

The buzz around Erdem Moralioglu’s show rivalled that of Kane.

His popularity has been helped by the fact that Sarah Brown, Samantha Cameron and Keira Knightley have all been photographed wearing Erdem clothes.

Jess Cartner-Morley said: “The holographic florals for which the label is known came in offbeat shades of teal and tobacco, cut into neat shifts, blouses, A-line skirts and coat-dresses. If there was a hint of the 1960s, it was never overwhelming: every piece looked as if it would work in a modern wardrobe.”
