Trend Files #041 | Christopher Kane Gorilla Print Jersey Dress
Let me tell you that procrastination is a killer. For months I’ve been eye-balling Christopher Kane’s series of primate inspired dresses that literally caught my attention. But thanks to my daily activities….it totally slipped my mind to even do a post regarding them. Then here comes the one and only…Rihanna to step out on the streets of NYC in one of Kane’s absolutely fabulous dresses. Hey, it was bound to happen….and you ladies know it! Rihanna’s new glam squad has been laying down the format on trend worthy picks! I hope that other celebrity stylists are taking notes! Any who….after hunting around the web at was once available for the past few months is now SOLD OUT at most retailers! I know….it’s a shame! Especially for such a hot dress! Besides….the weird NYC weather will do a 360 in a matter of a week or so. Which means no one in their right mind will be seen outside in city summer heat – rocking long sleeves. Oh but wait! Before I forget, there is a Christopher Baboon Tank Dress (which dons no sleeves) is available now via Liberty for the mere price of £675 ($1,099 USD). Ok, so you want to see what all of the hoopla is about… right? Well, check out the views & stats after the jump!

This dress is available everywhere in London….Obviously not a best seller as it made it into most sales!
Although Ri-Ri looks fierce in it…I would rather indulge in one of Christopher Kane’s gorgeous disc dresses…much much more drool worthy.
Anyhow, Christopher Kane is currently selling his unisex ‘Gorilla/Baboon/Chimp print t-shirts online at Colette (http://www.colette.fr/#/eshop/article/165848/christopher-kane/414/)
Failing that AND for those who want some Christopher Kane without having to sell your soul…Christopher Kane will be doing his second collection for Topshop. The CK/Topshop collection will feature bags, shoes, knitwear and dresses and will be available online and in selected stores from August 2009:-)

i saw this catwalk show at the begining of the season and had been looking for one similar for months, i finally found one by John Zack about a month ago, people prob saw it and thought i was mental but its bloody gorgeous and at least its “different” im fed up with everyone looking the same, good on her for wearing it as Christopher Kane is a great designer and sets the trend for something different.
I will wear my monkey dress with pride 
and am excited to say i wore it before i had seen anyone in them, awesome !!!
