Alexander McQueen



Following the memorial of Lee Alexander Mcqueen at St. Paul's Cathedral during London Fashion Week, Paris saw the label rise like a phoenix from the ashes with a fresh new take on McQueen signatures. Sarah Burton had a lot to live up to, taking over from a great designer and retaining their style , whilst bringing something new to the table. She succeeded bringing a soft, lightness to the previously dark collections.
The look is opulent; rich brocades, jewel encrusted velvet, gold crocodile skin and florals digitally printed onto sheer cloths. The tailoring is softer and there is more movement than usual which adds to the feminine touch brought by Burton.
