More From London Fashion Week: Christopher Kane & Burberry

Christopher Kane's catwalk show has transformed part of the Tate Modern museum into a celebration of sex and nature.

The popular designer's show Monday contained several outfits with a "sexual cannibalism" theme, including one with a T-shirt showing Kane's own drawing of praying mantises mating.

"They were my hand drawings," he said. "I made a lot of drawings of praying mantises killing each other" while mating.

The quirky designer said he was partially inspired by the words of revered nature broadcaster David Attenborough and also by Marilyn Monroe.

The soundtrack featured their words intercut with each, Kane said afterward with a smile.

"David Attenborough had a huge influence on me growing up," said Kane, who confessed he could watch the Discovery channel nonstop if given the chance.

The theme of sexuality often plays large in Kane's shows. In February his collection paid homage to the "Joy of Sex" books.

Some of his fans wore shirts from that collection at Friday's show.

It was an eclectic Kane collection, including a striking, barely there little black dress and a series of elegant, long pleated skirts paired with revealing, lacy tops.

He always surprised. There was a beautifully cut tuxedo paired with a white T-shirt with an animal theme, and a stunning white geometric mini-dress. One model wore a startling, sheer red dress, while other outfits had what seemed to be jeweled metallic stripes.

The first Burberry show by new creative chief Riccardo Tisci was also scheduled for Monday afternoon.

Breaking with Burberry's tradition of finding glamorous locales, it was held in the old post office sorting center on a side street near the new U.S. Embassy.
