The stellar collection celebrated how Sarah Burton made the house woman-friendly.
On Saturday night at Paris Fashion Week, Sarah Burton took her final bow at the brand she’s worked for her entire career. She joined in 1997, and was named creative director in 2010 following Lee Alexander McQueen’s suicide.
But she stepped in and made it her own, transforming McQueen’s sometimes misogynistic-seeming restrictive neckpieces, headdresses and hobbling shoes with a woman’s touch. The lace appliqué for the bodice and skirt was handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, based at Hampton Court Palace. Individual flowers were hand-cut from lace and hand-engineered onto ivory silk tulle to create an organic design with rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock motifs. Immediately, it was clear that the Burton-led McQueen would remain a British luxury leader, even under French owner Kering.
