Christopher Kane

Origin: Scotland

Career highlight: “Working with Donatella Versace.”

Design background: Christopher studied at Central Saint Martins for six years. He interned with Giles Deacon and Russell Sage before setting up his own label as soon as he graduated.

What are your design signatures? “I love detail, especially some sort of embellishment that can transform a garment instantly. It’s always good to move out of your comfort zone each season, to learn new things and to challenge your senses.”

How would you describe the Christopher Kane woman? “She is a real individual and a keen follower of fashion. She maybe works in the industry or another creative field. Age doesn’t really concern me; I’m more interested in personality and the way a woman carries herself.”

What is your most recent London discovery? “An amazing Turkish pancake shop on Kingsland High Street. Delicious and cheap food every lunch time.”
