Christopher Kane is an inventive, talented, and all-together unique, new-to-the-scene fashion designer who we absolutely love. He’s somewhat of a fashion industry darling: he won this year’s British Fashion Council Fund and counts Donatella Versace as a mentor. Kane always manages to find something familiar and rework it into his designs in a never-before-done way. Take his resort 2011 collection, for instance, which featured beautiful celestial photos that look they came from the NASA website printed on simply-cut apparel…totally amazing. Kane always finds the border of what was he thinking? and why didn’t I think of that?, and while his resort 2011 looks fell in the latter, his fall 2011 ideas might be a part of the less fortunate former. Model after model appeared on the runway in basic black pieces decorated with plastic gel-filled trims and details that, honestly, kind of remind of us our Lisa Frank school supplies.

Yeah… weird, right? Now that it’s time that the Fall 2011 collections are landing in stores, these pieces are actually available, but it’s hard to imagine them being worn in real life.

Kane also created a series of matching clutches, which are more wearable, but we still feel like we should be putting our pencils and lunch money inside of them. What do you think? Are you into this out-there trend?
