Designer Sarah Burton, for Alexander McQueen
Sarah Burton had some enormous shows to fill when she was chosen to continue the Alexander 'Lee' McQueen legacy. The designer worked closely with McQueen for 15 years, and I don't think there could have been a better choice to continue creating this legendary fashion line.
She clearly knows and embraces all of the trademarks of McQueen's vision, all while bringing her own creativity and flavor to the signature line. She has reinvented the house of McQueen just by being a female designer and bringing a softness to the often dark, dramatic, and sometimes discomforting themes McQueen was so fond of. Burton's collection still played on his idea of fantasy and creating a wondrous world through fashion, but her theme lends itself towards a more mother-of-the-earth concept, a brighter outlook.
In her collection you will see life sprout from a blank canvas (the dramatic white pieces she chose to start with). From there the evolution of monarch butterflies, striped and brilliant tigers, woven black leaves, pheasant feathers, guilded cornstalks, and the transcendent natural beauty of the earth.
Below, I have posted the photos of entire 35 piece spring 2011 women's ready-to-wear collection. It it worth viewing as a whole piece, it is truly a moving work of art, and an utterly inspiring display of what high fashion truly is....
