Inspiration

Christopher Kane's spring 2008 collection was inspired by the 1980's movies he would watch with his sister Tammy: "It was the pair of us sitting on the sofa watching late-night horror films like Carrie," said Kane. "And Crocodile Dundee." The two movies set him off thinking about chiffon and eerie suspended ruffles on the one hand, washed-out denim and snakeskin vests on the other.

This collection was my favorite from spring 2008 - everything about it was flawless - the soft shapes, the flowing hair, the chrome tipped boots, the casting & the soundtrack. The 35 looks summed up exactly the correct way to dress, iron your hair & not wear makeup for this summer.

Daiane Conterato opened the show wearing a loose grey jacket and tiered blue skirt - just like Winona Ryder wore in my favorite 1980's movie: Heathers. Specifically, the scene where Winona's character Veronica Sawyer gets revenge on two date rapists. Christopher Kane made the skirt longer & slouchier. The loose grey jacket is more tough & motorcycle, not at all Limited. Instead of a black tank, Christopher Kane paired the look with a white schoolboy shirt. Contrarily, this make the look more seductive, more remarkable, more modern.

Heathers 20th anniversary edition DVD is now available at amazon.com.
