Kris Jane

Kris Jane was born into a family of a fashion designer mother and a professor father. Kris received a BA degree in International Relations at the Boston University. She had her fashion education in Fashion Illustration and Pattern Making at the Massachusetts College of Art before advancing her fashion studies and receiving her fashion design diploma at the Istituto Marangoni in Milan, Italy.
Graduating from the design course, Kris shifted her focus from freelance design works to her own label in Hong Kong. She completed her first collection in 2012 after working for a brand consultancy firm with accounts like Silvian Heach, Krizia, and Xagon Man. Her first collection mostly maintained a very lady-like silhouette featuring A-line shapes and peplum dresses. Her digital prints pieces, however, have a contemporary vibe and are youthful occasion-wear items.
For this collection “ Lance & Lilies”, Kris Jane looks to medieval armor and florals for inspiration. It’s a kind of futuristic nostalgia. The mythical past is then re-imagined with romanticism. Our heroine is every bit as real, as feisty and as glamorous as our female warrior. As a result, the collection is a rather playful interaction of the rigid silhouette of the armor and the softness of spring florals. Prints are met with new shapes and construction.
