The launch of self-portrait Residency debuted with a striking focus on the Christopher Kane x self-portrait collection lookbook, signaling a bold new direction for the brand. The lookbook, a visual celebration of Kane’s Residency collection, was unveiled in real-time during an immersive event at London’s Alva Coachwork Studios, setting a new standard for how fashion unveils its artistry. This first-of-its-kind collaboration marks the beginning of self-portrait’s Residency program, initiated by founder and Creative Director Han Chong, with Kane as its inaugural designer.

The lookbook, shot earlier in the day by photographer George Eyres, offers a glimpse into Christopher Kane’s reimagining of archival elements from his career. The collection pays homage to Kane’s roots, with nods to his acclaimed Spring/Summer 2007 debut. Through Eyres’ lens, the lookbook captures the tactile beauty of Kane’s designs: crystal chainmail shimmering under soft light, lace ruffles cascading with ethereal movement, and satin dresses emphasizing the female form with bias cuts and intricate lace panels. These textures are contrasted with refined knitwear pieces featuring lace cut-outs and crystal embellishments, demonstrating Kane’s subversive yet elegant touch. Accessories such as crystal bolster necklaces and handbags with ruffled lace handles complete the vision, grounding the collection in Kane’s unmistakable aesthetic.

The real-time creation of this lookbook became an integral part of the event, inviting over 100 fashion and creative industry guests to witness the artistry behind the scenes. Guests, including Edie Campbell, Julia Restoin Roitfeld, and Sarah Mower, entered a dynamic setting where the lookbook shoot wrapped before their eyes, transforming the traditional unveiling into a participatory spectacle. With a curated seasonal menu by Rochelle Canteen’s Margot Henderson and cocktails from Bird in Hand Wines, the event blended a sensory experience with fashion innovation.

Christopher Kane x self-portrait Campaign

Throughout the evening, another layer of the visual story unfolded as photographer Larissa Hoffman captured campaign imagery live. Her work featured models such as Colin Jones, Marina Perez, and Hannah Motler against an intimate, at-home-inspired backdrop. Hoffman’s lens brought an organic, personal quality to the campaign, contrasting the polished precision of the lookbook with a sense of spontaneity and intimacy. These campaign images, along with the earlier lookbook photos, solidify the collection’s dual ethos: reverence for tradition and an embrace of modernity.

Ahead of the event, self-portrait teased two campaign images starring the legendary Carine Roitfeld, a longtime supporter of Kane’s work. Shot in Paris by Hoffman, Roitfeld embodies the collection’s essence, draped in Kane’s designs with effortless sophistication. The choice of Roitfeld as the face of the teaser campaign was both strategic and symbolic, reinforcing the collection’s alignment with icons of style and creativity. These initial images sparked widespread anticipation for the Residency collection, which was further amplified by the lookbook’s release.

The collection itself is a testament to Kane’s ability to reimagine his archives through a contemporary lens. The juxtaposition of tactile textures—crystal and lace, satin and knit—creates an interplay that feels both familiar and refreshingly new. The playful yet sophisticated color palette, ranging from soft pastels to striking metallics, evokes a balance between nostalgia and forward-thinking design. Kane’s signature touches, such as crystal embellishments and intricate detailing, are seamlessly integrated into modern silhouettes, offering a wearable narrative of his design evolution.

The launch of self-portrait Residency and its inaugural lookbook signal a transformative moment for the brand. By centering the collection’s unveiling around the creative process, self-portrait redefines the traditional fashion showcase. The Residency program, designed to invite talent from diverse disciplines to collaborate with the brand in its London headquarters, is a bold initiative that fosters innovation and individuality. For Christopher Kane, this Residency collection represents a return to form, while for self-portrait, it marks a forward leap into the evolving fashion landscape. The lookbook stands as a powerful visual statement of what this partnership represents: a celebration of creativity, collaboration, and London’s enduring influence on the global stage.
