Winter 2013 Collection
This was truly an unreal collection to watch, the progress
between each look and the fantastic innovation brought inspiration to fashion
lovers everywhere.
The collection started off very romantic and sincere, with
soft pastel creams and graphic jacquard prints with embellishments embedded in
the fabric - unquestionably, “a beautiful future,” in the words of Sarah Burton,
a collection of “positivity and optimism.” I was a bit skeptical at first;
McQueen was all about dark and incomparable designs, something I found the
beginning of the collection to be nothing about. But, just as a blossoming flower,
the designs began to open up into the world of Alexander. It was like the
shapes and patterns began to organically “explode” from the pods they once
were, flourishing into puffballs of extravagant goat fur, coats of ostrich
feathers or Mongolian lamb sheer, elements of soft pink and voluminous cherry
red pleated dresses with models teetering on 6 inch invisible heels. With a
sci-fi persona, the collection masks the models with space-age visors, harsh
metal accessories and white wigs which ultimately lead to the finale of a
closing black dress with an oversized shoulder piece.
Sarah Burton has not only preserved the fashion house in
innovation and modernization; she has stayed truthful to the Master of
Darkness, Alexander McQueen. Burton
is a perfect match for the fashion house with years to come of prestigious
designs and fresh ideas.
