Christopher Kane's interest in the sciences has helped shape his utterly original voice. It has, at times, brought a bold, sexual undercurrent to his work, never more so than with the mesmerizing collection he showed today, in which it was nothing short of the molecular rationale for human desire that he was seeking to express in his designs. Clothes are often described as "sensual" or "sexy," but Kane's were unabashedly sexual. According to the show notes, the dynamic zigzag that bifurcated a sheer lace dress represented the current of an electric orgasm. The last looks were made of Swiss lace—not pieces but whole panels—depicting a tangle of anatomically correct nudes. The same writhing figures were traced in glitter on a sheer tulle dress that, in silhouette at least, was otherwise as high-necked-and-below-the-knee proper as any church dress.
