Krane Happenings, inspiration and style bites from design director and Designer Ken Chow

 

K by Krane gets Refocussed and Recharged

The system is in a state of change.  As a result, Krane is adapting and here is the new direction for the brand.

K by Krane was initially introduced as Krane's younger brother, to offer products to a younger consumer.  Listening to the fans, I've noticed that "younger" goes deeper than a bolder more vibrant aesthetic.  

Much like the dynamic between your friends you choose to surround yourself with, K by Krane has been affected by the aesthetic and core values of the Krane brand. You'll notice a more energetic youthful energy infused into the Krane brand (which was influenced by K).  The flipside is that K by Krane has also done some growing up (influenced by Krane).

At the end of the day, price is very important to you the consumer.  You'll notice that Krane's prices have been priced friendlier than in the past, and this new chapter of K by Krane will continue to come at you with essential items that are even friendlier in price, with a greater focus on the utilitarian qualities of Krane.  

Here's the first style from the new chapter of K by Krane.  Everyone needs a good tote for Spring.  Hope you go totes cray for this new LEMUEL essential tote.  New silhouettes to be announced.

KRANE x Alexander Liang x WMCFW collaboration

World MasterCard FSHUN WK (AKA Toronto Fashion Week) came through the Six last week, and Krane was fortunate to be carried and worn by many stylish attendees.  If you are new to the scene, then you might be wondering who is this blond asian guy, who is always put together on-point to the occasion?  

I've been a fan of Alexander Liang since AW11 when he saw the first Krane show with Toronto Fashion week, and I discovered his magazine Kenton magazine.

In addition to running his well-curated magazine, he also keeps the world in awe on instagram,  with his breathtaking travel pics and outfits that speak to the voice of today's contemporary man.  I love his eye for detail and garment choices that are always fashion, but wearable at the same time.  I am happy that I was able to get Alex to wear and carry Krane during #wmcfw.  Here are some highlights.  Enjoy!
