Christopher Kane’s collection for Self-Portrait Residency draws from his extensive archives, reimagining elements of his iconic debut Spring 2007 collection. This new range combines his signature subversive elegance with modern craftsmanship. Highlights include crystal chainmail pieces, delicate lace ruffles, bias-cut satin dresses, and knitwear with lace cut-outs.

The vibrant palette is complemented by crystal-embellished mini dresses, rhinestone bolstered necklaces, and handbags with ruffled lace handles, each piece reflecting Kane’s ability to merge the avant-garde with wearability. The collection exudes a refined yet daring aesthetic, staying true to Kane’s reputation for pushing boundaries.

Self-Portrait Residency, launched by Chong in 2024, aims to provide artists with a collaborative space to innovate and explore new ideas. Located at Harella House, Self-Portrait’s London headquarters, the program offers infrastructure, resources, and networks to support the creative process. The Residency welcomes designers and artists from various disciplines, fostering a culture of experimentation while maintaining the brand’s commitment to accessible, high-quality design.

Christopher Kane’s involvement as the Resident designer reflects the program’s core vision. By giving Kane the freedom to revisit his archives and reinterpret them through Self-Portrait’s lens, the collaboration offers a fresh perspective on both his work and the brand’s ethos.
