Fashion career profile
Christopher Kane
Christopher Kane is a Scottish fashion designer whose career now includes a creative leadership role at Mulberry. After studying at Central Saint Martins, he founded his namesake label with his sister Tammy in 2006, building it around experimental materials, graphic references and an unconventional approach to eveningwear. Kering acquired a 51 per cent stake in 2013 and later agreed to sell it back to Kane in 2018. The company entered administration in 2023, after which the founders acquired its assets and intellectual property; that business chapter is not a current house appointment. On 26 March 2026, Mulberry appointed Kane Creative Director of Women’s Ready-to-Wear. His first Mulberry collection debuted at London Fashion Week in September 2026, with retail availability announced for January 2027. The current role is specifically womenswear, not Mulberry’s overall creative direction or executive management. The timeline keeps his former label and new appointment separate.
