For most followers of fashion, what Sarah Burton does next with Alexander McQueen is still a topic of interest, even though she is certainly more than capable and has proven so several times, with carrying on the house that McQueen built. Inspired by Gaia, the Greek goddess of the earth, water, and nature, in Burton’s third outing she proved that she can maintain all of the classic McQueen design attributes while catapulting the brand forward.
We loved the subversiveness of the delicate masks, which naturally epitomize the classic brand balance of hard and soft, also found in the garments’ open lines and aggressive detailing completing the vision of an awestruck, fantastical world.
