Hello! Dang, Wednesday crept up quick!!! Well, here is another big favorite…Alexander McQueen of course! I think Sarah Burton is doing an amazing job with the company.
I really like where it’s going.
The last few dresses blew me away, wait ALL the dresses blew me away. So breath-taking and whimsical. Exactly what we adore.
Style.com says it perfect…
Burton also softened the staging, a concept that was always so critical to a McQueen show. Where his narratives were often dark, discomfiting things, she opted for a nurturing atmosphere: a pagan, Earth-Mother-ly spirit. The woman in her show began as a plain white canvas and was steadily reclaimed by nature: wrapped in embroidered fronds, in leaves of black leather, in a raffia-trimmed brocade, in the wings of monarch butterflies or an enveloping mass of feathers. The craftsmanship was startling—that monarch butterfly dress, for instance, or a gown with a breastplate of gilded cornstalks and skirt of pheasant feathers, or another gown of pleated organza that looked like an unfolding sea anemone.
