As an alternative to floral prints, which the designer is presently tired of, Christopher Kane used a variety of cloud prints on his pre-collection.
Sourced from the free U.K. Ministry of Defense Web Site public access photos, the images screened onto the fashions of the Christopher Kane Pre-Fall 09 collection are from nuclear test explosions from the 1950s to 70s.
