Craving Christopher Kane

Now it's no secret that Christopher Kane's print dresses have become a huge hit, like his previous collections. Over the past two years he has given himself a good name, his brilliant designs and his humble approach to his success have helped him in doing this. His designs have been on top demand and as soon as they reach the shops and the online stores they have been selling out. Celebrities such as Alexa Chung and Rihanna have been spotted wearing his unique designs. Also releasing two ranges at Topshop helped make him a fantastic designer. He knows what we want, and he definitely delivers for us every time!

If you are like me and can't afford the high prices of these designs, well not to worry high street designers are creating new ranges that are influenced by his work! Designers such as Lipsy and Motel are making these print dresses affordable. Sure they're not the real thing and they will never compare to Christopher's designs but still they are brilliant garments in their own rights. I have selected two dresses that I thought are of high quality and are brilliant examples of designs that are influenced by his work.

The key is not to buy garments that have tried to copy his work exactly, they can sometimes come across as tacky looking, so instead of looking classy you may find yourself looking a tad cheap. Instead of buying copies it is better to find designs that have elements of his print in them, that is why I have selected these two dress, they are their own designs but they have a hint of Christopher Kane to them.

So get out there and buy yourself a print dress before they all sell out!

Left Dress: Cosmic Print Cross Bodice Dress by Motel. £42 available at Topshop
Right Dress:Lipsy Stardust Print Pleat One Shoulder Dress. £58 available at ASOS.
