Maple Leaves



Chris Kane: So, I loved his last collection. The textures, the colors, the fits, the fabrics...it was all very fresh and wonderful looking. But for this follow up collection, I was fairly dissappointed. These clothes seemed to be missing the intricacy and detail applied to the SS07 ones, and they just don't seem as special, but much more tacky. I'm ambivalent to the all the leather use, because with some garments, it looked too fake, awkward, and separate from the body, while with other pieces, the structure and cut was just perfect. Chris went a little heavy on the velvet, too, but I adored all the origami pleating (which seems to be a massive trend). I also really loved all the reds, since we haven't seen that in a while. So the collection wasn't really bad, but compared to his SS07 one, it's a step down.
