Christopher Kane for Self-Portrait is available to shop now
Following the closure of his label last summer, Christopher Kane is a name still sorely missed from the London Fashion Week schedule so fans of the brand were delighted to hear that the designer is set to release a new collection this autumn, underneath the Self-Portrait label.
It was announced in September that Kane had been chosen as the first guest designer in Self-Portrait’s new Residency programme, an initiative which will invite various creatives into the studio to help reinterpret the Self-Portrait look. In a similar fashion to how Jean Paul Gaultier’s couture arm now functions, the project will bring together different designer ideas and will help to support and promote creatives.
“Having spent the last 10 years building our brand and honing our team’s skills, it feels incredibly rewarding to share our expertise and techniques with others, giving them the keys to our studio, and the space to explore and expand their own craft, while staying true to our commitment to honest luxury,” explained Self-Portrait’s founder and creative director Han Chong.

Kane has been a huge force in British fashion for some time, and his comeback is much anticipated. The designer first emerged on the scene in the early 2000s, and quickly became beloved on the red carpet, worn frequently by names including Alexa Chung and Cate Blanchett, while Michelle Obama and the Duchess of Cambridge also stepped out in his designs. He also won various prestigious fashion awards as his company rose to prominence.
A glimpse of the collection was first revealed in a shoot with Carine Roitfeld, and the main campaign was shot live from the collection’s launch event. Filled with amazing partywear including mini dresses, bodysuits, bags and gowns, Kane has reinterpreted key elements from his debut collection (spring/summer 2007) with crystal chainmail and soft lace ruffles dominating.
“It has been a joy to work with Han on the brand’s first Self-Portrait Residency,” said Kane. “The entire process has been an extraordinary experience, made possible by Han and his wonderful teams. I am delighted to have reincarnated my archival collections for this inaugural project, and who better to unveil our new collection than Carine Roitfeld; a big champion since my first collections, and a true fashion icon. I will be forever grateful for her continued support.”
Christopher Kane’s collection for Self-Portrait is available to shop now, and more details about the Residency programme will be revealed soon, along with names that will be taking part in the future.
