Christopher Kane Shutters Namesake Company. One of London’s most renowned and talented designers is closing his label, and hoisting a For Sale sign. The company said the board of Christopher Kane Ltd. has recently resolved to file a notice of intention to appoint FTS Recovery as administrators to wind down operations.

As a result of this difficult decision, the company will have sufficient time to implement a rescue plan; the company’s principals said. One of the biggest names on the London Fashion Week calendar was Christopher Kane, who founded his company 17 years ago.

For his edgy, stylish signature collections, the designer has collaborated with Donatella Versace on themes such as science, outer space, and human anatomy.The designer’s label would eventually be purchased by Kering before being sold back to him in 2018. The two parties parted amicably.
