You think that Christopher Kane S/S 09 gorilla print dress is out of my head? Nope.... most certainly not. Not when I've spotted two lucky gals wearing them with roaring pride. Not when Christopher Kane took his bow for his latest show wearing an adapted version of the tee (womenswear designers doing menswear basic tee versions of their collections...good idea for all, no?) Also, not when Tommy Ton put the idea in my head to eBay myself a gorilla tee (and there are plenty of options ranging from smiling gorilla to yawning gorilla...) and adding a pleated/pailetted skirt to the tee.
The idea of animalising clothes without resorting to actual animals or prints was further cemented in my head when I saw these sneak preview pics of Yuchi's A/W 09 collection. I spy a wolf, a flamingo and some sort of a ram(?). Will need to take a closer look as Yuchi will be exhibiting at Rendez Vous in Paris. I vote for the stegosaurus to make a animalistic dress appearance. It was my favourite dinosaur name to pronounce as a child.
