Daria Shapovalova at London Fashion Week SS2014: Christopher Kane

"Flowers for Spring...groundbreaking," Miranda Priestly's bitingly sarcastic critique on mediocrity from The Devil Wears Prada still resonates throughout the fashion industry and beyond. Not so for Kane, however; known for breaking fashion rules (for the better), he served just that: flowers. Only his were cut up and dissected, petals making teardrop-shaped cutouts strategically across the body, while others resembling textbook botanic illustrations crawled up on sweatshirts, jacquard skirts and dresses. The tender finesse of flowers was substituted by a more rigid, yet still uncannily seductive flora; at places even literally so, with petals pointing to or resembling female anatomy. Not a surprising subtext, considering that subversion is the very blood of the brand." - NowFashion.com
