Today news broke that ChristopherKane has begun proceedings to shutter his label showing us all just how tough a time it is for independent designers. Here’s what he means to fashion — and to this Vogue writer:
Around the time of Kane’s graduation, London had become a sleepy fashion town; an anomaly considering all the young talent that the city’s design schools attracted. Around the millennium, London talent was being scooped up by houses in Paris or Milan . But Kane — and his sister Tammy, with whom he worked from the very beginning — were part of new cohort of independent designers who included Erdem Moralioglu, Mary Katrantzou, Jonathan Saunders, Roksanda Ilincic, and the Meadham Kirchoff duo.
Kane’s vision has always been wide-ranging and unique, and he never dulled it down for one market or another. In 2009, Natalie Massenet, Net-a-Porter’s founder said her team was “noticing that women who like Oscar de la Renta are also happy to buy Christopher, because they like its femininity and quality.” To wit, in 2013, Kering purchased a majority stake in the brand.
