Yes this is lovely I agree with the overwhelming majority. But the uniqueness of mcqueen lay in his ability to not only create something new each ready-to-wear season, but radically break with anything he had done before, perfectly illustrated by his Platos Atlantis collection which brutally contradicted his take on the recession the season before.
Mcqueens Resort and Cruise collections always played with the narrative of the ready-to-wear shows, and was speared headed by burton who was responsible for translating Lees showmanship on to the backs of disposable cash earning girls-about-town. The real test will lie in whether burton has the imagination and creativity to focus exclusively on a single point of inspiration each season. It will come as no surprise if over the coming seasons she plays about with the same silhouettes, patterns, and ideas whilst the majority of people praise her for staying true to the Mcqueen aesthetic. But the sincerity and ingenuity of the mcqueen brand besides his trademarks such as tailoring lies in the imagination of the man himself. Something that I believe will become more and more apparent in years to come.
