Pre-fall roundup 2016: Christopher Kane, Boss and Sonia Rykiel

At Christopher Kane, the collection is a continuation of the 'crash and repair' philosophy behind the Spring/Summer 2016 show. “That same girl from last season who is eccentric, rich and poor, sophisticated and unsophisticated is still there, but other elements have entered her world,” explains the designer. Hence a mixture of the everyday and the over-the-top throughout the collection, which combines the delicate with the industrial.
