Three-dimensional volume for
Alexander McQueen creative director Sarah Burton. With layers and layers of
fabric and feathers, the collection is certainly designed for a powerful and
confident woman, but there's an underlining femininity – even girliness – to
many of the looks. This season's direction is in keeping with Burton's work at
the house thus far where she has been bringing a softer edge to the tough-luxe
aesthetic McQueen so perfectly honed.
The collection included eye
mask-like visors, heel-less shoes, and ballooning silhouettes that were nothing
short of technical feats, with a futurist undercurrent. The palette include
black, white, red, and frosty pinks and while even the most streamlined of
looks – a nipped at the waist mini dress with sculpted shoulders, for example –
will be hard to pull off, the collection was one of the season’s best
theatrical displays.
