Someone has to tell this woman McQueen was about macabre, sharp, aggressivity, derangement and darkness; and you can´t find all that in her clothes.
McQueen was like "Suspiria" by Dario Argento...and Sarah is more "Scary Movie" than anything else.
SERIOUSLY STOP comparing this to Lee McQueen collections. Its the same with Raf at Dior. There is NO POINT comparing Sarah and Lee or Raf to John.
Sarah has her own design aesthetic, the road she wants to pursue. This is where she wants to take the brand and Kerring are happy with it, for the first time in forever, McQueen is making money and they will carry on with this aesthetic until it no longer does.

I think Sarah probably knows better than anyone else what McQueen was all about. But at the end of the day Alexander McQueen was always going to take a different direction after Lee's passing - Sarah doesn't have that darkness to her, her collections are more optimistic and feminine. 4 years have passed, we can't keep comparing her to Lee because she can't be something she's not.
Just editing to say I actually think this is one of her stronger collections, I'm glad to see less bulky shapes. Everything feels much more fluid and I'm pleased there are some new silhouettes in there.
Sarah Burton said that she will do her best to maintain Mcqueen's aesthetic but she is not a dark person herself. He tells her about a painful childhood while Burton did not. Therefore her designs still has the Mcqueen in her but she takes it into the light instead.
So much light it is unrecognizable as a brand!
What did you make of FW14/15 then? The brand was always going to evolve and change, no one would have been able to recreate Lee's genius. Who is going to be able to live up to him? I don't know who people would be happy to see take Sarah's place
