This is Burton's final collection for Alexander McQueen. I, personally, don't find it very remarkable, but I figured that it would be a good idea to archive this collection before they wipe the website for Sean's debut.

I am very glad she is gone. Not much hope for the next dude taking the helm though...

It's so sad how these houses have become like zombies. Well-made beautiful clothing with absolutely nothing to add or say. The founder/visionary does all the hard work of distilling their fantasy into reality and establishing a memorable name, only for an eventual owner to water it down beyond recognition for the shallow public who see nothing more than a 'brand'.

Much like Dior and Valentino, McQueen is now on autopilot. The lights are on but nobody's home.

just let me in kering i can save this house from oblivion

So glad she’s gone.

I will not miss her stiff-as-a-board designs or her pedestrian and superficial “hard meets soft” aesthetic.

 

[JohannesL]

Her tailoring is always great and those bar jackets are much better than those at Dior!

 

[youthinasia]

I do love the fact that she always feels the need to include a white peasant dress with a black belt in every collection

 

[Lola701]

Dior is where she belongs!

Her collections always look nice but the aesthetic is getting tired. Maybe she needs to move on to another brand or her own brand where she can spread her wings because am certain the suits have a word on how the McQ collections should be.

 

[Alquimista]

She´s good making dresses and suits but the separates are weak.

Maybe Seán will fix that.

The sad thing with all of Sarah Burton's pre-collections has been that they all visually blend into another with that sterile photography combined with such 'flat' fabrics and colors. We don't need to debate about the obvious skills in draping and tailoring - She's proven that over and over again. But there is a flatness to the end result that doesn't help to conjure a sense of warmth and emotion. Worse even - There has been a sense of predictability to her collections that takes away from the appreciation of her skills.

I agree she would be great for Dior, she is by far a more capable designer than Maria Grazia, Pierpaolo or most of her creative director peers. But I hope when she comes back, that it will be with a fresher take than what she served up towards the end of her McQueen tenure - It didn't seem as if she had much joy helming the brand as of late.

what a gloomy good bye and good riddance. under the assault of her low grade rodarte-takes-on-mcqueen for too long. a long mediocre flat note unable to hit the same pitch of vibrance, depth, and wonder as its departed creator.

so tired of this boxy trend. it's questionable tailoring being put in the hands of those unable to style volume appropriate to their body type. these slapped on lifeless 80s bow failed to help these looks, too. she was ready go and the feeling is so vey much mutual.

i hope she finds peace somewhere else

Loving this filthy read.

it’s very tamed and under the same silhouette and style Sarah had been offering. feels safe too, even though it’s just Resort.
the tailoring is absolutely incredible, as always and there are some beautiful pieces. I find some of the gowns to be gorgeous.

interesting that Emily Blunt wore the least interesting one (long dress with gold details and see-through bottom) for the awards. she would’ve looked stunning with either the other black gown (with bow and gold details) or the white one.

 

[Lola701]

It strikes me how some dresses wouldn’t look out of place in a Elie Saab collection…And Yet, some people would take it as an insult to mention the very Establishment-approved Sarah Burton for McQueen with Mr Saab.

She is a romantic at heart, she is formal at heart. So the elements she adds to toughen up the look kinda feels weird.

Dior (or Givenchy) may release her from that. She would be totally able to embrace her full romanticism.

 

[tourbillions]

commercialized burton designs. Still menswear are so strong i want all of it. Things would go full circle if she was to do Givenchy.

If they were ever to do a revival of madame gres, i think that she would be a great fit.

The introduction of sneakers to the lookbook?

I could be wrong but I don't recall Burton including them on the runway or in look books during her time as CD.

she's actually been using them in lookbooks and on runways for years.
