She's a girl named Kate who thinks she's really great, but she's not." The wonderful song that soundtracked's
show today was by Chandra Oppenheim, whose single, edgy 1980 release
has become a lost nugget of post-punk gold. Chandra was 12 at the time,
which surely qualifies her as a child prodigy. That's a category in
which Kane can match her, on one level at least (although he'll be a
great big kid forever). His huge new collection was yet one more geyser
of creativity, a spill of ideas that prodded fashion forward in
unanticipated new ways. And if the spill was toxic at times, that was
simply a measure of his limitless imagination. For every light, there's a
shadow. And vice versa.
