Everyone is talking Leavers Ball, and I am excited, I really am, its just.. the dress. I can't even fathom looking for one, because I know exactly what I want, and I know I won't be able to afford it. AND DO YOU KNOW WHO'S FAULT THAT IS????????
CHRISTOPHER KANE'S, THATS WHO.
First, I fell in love with his gorrilla print dress from s/s 2009.
You don't need for me to tell you that it is awesome, and you also don't need for me to tell you that it is still over £1,000 on ebay. I lusted over this for my year 11 prom, but at the time I couldn't even get my hands on the cheaper crocodile version from Topshop. (Instead I wore this scarf skirt dress thing from a vintage shop in Portabello).
But times have moved on, and now I need a new dress, for my sixth form leavers ball. It's going to be in a garden, in a big marquee, so I didn't want anything too princessy... just something casual and, y'know.. AMAZING.
And then I saw it:
Christopher Kane's pre collection 2011.
The prints he uses on all of his resort collections are absolutely jaw dropping, and I have looked everywhere for a cheaper alternative. I came close, with some t-shirts from Your Eyes Lie and a dress I found on ebay, but the dress was an orangey colour, which would NOT compliment my beautiful ginger hair.
However, I'm over cosmic prints now (well not quite, but maybe not for prom).
And this is because I was casually flicking through the a/w 2011 collections and I saw these.
The plastic gel is so nostalgic, and would change colour when worn making the dress beautifully imaginative. The mesh with the glitter is so cheeky, its like tounge in cheek rock and roll and I love it. It's so me!
So does anyone out there know of a place to get Christopher Kane-esque dresses? Or just know of a fabulous way to fall in love with a new dress?? GOSH PROM IS SO STRESSFUL xxxx
