Sarah Burton amazes us by capturing the true essence of McQueen

 After having a look at the wonderfully amazing runaways from Sarah Burton for McQueen, nobody can deny : She was the perfect choice to take over the reign of King Alexander McQueen.
The best part, in our opinion, were the headpieces. We'd love to see someone brave enough to rock that to a premiere or event!
Each look was like a dream come true , light and disturbing at the same time , a mermaid meet a princess, a villain evil Queen  meets Hi society fashionista...

Congrats to Sarah Burton : a Queen is born !

Quote of the day - Sarah Burton


"People ask: what's Sarah about? But I've worked here for so long, there's been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I'm not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That's what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work."

Sarah Burton's womanswear designs stay true to the McQueen style, but add a softer, more feminine element... we love it !



Sarah Burton, who inherited the mantle at Alexander McQueen after the designer tragically took his own life last March, showed her first collection at Paris Fashion Week on Thursday. Burton’s collection included dramatic elements, from layers of feathers to daring silhouettes. According to reviewers, she managed to both maintain McQueen’s signature look and bring her own touches. The Guardian called Burton’s inaugural show “unmistakably the house of McQueen, but there were new, more feminine shapes too.”

Burton's designs for the spring was very nature inspired, using feathers and butterflies for many of the pieces.
We're sure Lee would love his successor's work !!
Well done BB !
