Unveiling his spring-summer 2017 men’s collection during London Collections: Men, Christopher Kane continued a style narrative with unusual inspirations. Explaining the range’s theme, Kane shared, “I am always interested in taking the everyday and looking at it in a new way.” The designer conveyed, “This season’s men’s collection also has that element. We were looking at cop shows and police identification techniques, looking at the graphics associated with them.”

While Kane’s references to the police resulted in several of the collection’s most graphic moments with standouts such as a bomber jacket and oversized t-shirt, the designer also revisited everyday dress. Utilizing checks and gingham, Kane approached the traditional patterns as “domestic”. Kane added, “They contrast, but are still complementary because of their strong lines. In many ways, the collection is a reflection of what I grew up with; that clean, pristine, washed and ironed sportswear way of dressing–the casual kids in Glasgow–mixed with the world of TV: Crimewatch and Casual.”
