I would have thought that Sarah Burton would have been thrilled that the attention shifted to the Dior Scandal, and less people were anticipating and talking about what will be her second full collection for Alexander McQueen. She strikes me as the type who likes to keep behind the scenes. But then of course the rumor came out that Alexander McQueen was the chosen brand for Kate Middleton’s wedding dress, and of course the media spotlight was back on Burton. And now everyone is saying OF COURSE all the white in the collection is a reference to the wedding dress. Personally, I don’t quite care what the hell Middleton decides to wear, however, I will be impressed if it is McQueen. That shows she has good taste.
On to the show…very beautiful, lots of amazing handwork, stunning silhouettes, etc… Basically what we all expect from Burton’s McQueen.
I love…
fur shoulders and zipper detailing. The Ice Queen reference is definitely working here...
more stunning fur and zipper trims.
when McQueen does Chanel tweed jackets, better than Chanel.
an amazing basket weave dress.
incredible handwork and details, you can always count on McQueen for that.
lace that drips strands of fabrics.
I loathe…
S&M references. They are an unnecessary distraction.
