it was an amazing farewell collection. some pieces (most of them) are stunning.
the gold was a great surprise, the thick knitwear piece, the tailoring as always and that shade of red is perfect.
the cast was also great.
well done, Sarah!

Who's Fabio?! Please explain?
Zambernardi? Is that what the rumor mill is saying?

I can't really explain how I feel about this collection. It's extremely touching to see someone working for McQueen for their whole career leaving, and leaving on such a high note. The tailoring is perfect and even if this collection wasn't that strong on an ideological level, the craftsmanship is truly divine. I must say I wasn't always a fan of Burton's work, but her skills are just unexplainable. I really hope she's going somewhere else, otherwise it would be just too devastating to handle.
She's always received so much unnecessary flak from a bunch of people but watch everyone look back and treat her with so much reverence once the new creative director butchers this house to the ground.
Her tenure at McQueen was never on the same level as Lee's obviously but her cuts and tailoring were always impeccable.

The William Morris drip print from Highland r*pe, the metallic threads from Untilted/The Golden Shower and Neptune, and that brushstroke embroidery are gorgeous and a beautiful ode to her time and legacy of McQueen. So many other small remembrances to her time at the house and it is pretty amazing thinking how much she has experienced over the years.
Jacket in look 32 I LOVE! Somewhat pubic and abject, but also so well executed. A lot of it isn't my cup of tea but I really can't blame her for it. It's the direction of things now so it really is the best for her to leave on this kind of note.
Frankly, I didn't expect myself to get so teary eyed when watching the end but I truly did.

Now this is how you go out with a bang. (take note GH) I think I have been vocal enough about my respect for her and this collection really capsulated her time at the house. Actually, it is very tightly edited and the construction, god forbid, is exemplary in today's fashion. She truly deserves Dior. Even just for menswear I know the tailoring will surpass what Kim is doing now.

I think it was a good collection that really represented what her McQueen was about: a dark and fierce romanticism, rooted in tailoring. I really loved the red draped dress and this time, Naomi did it for me. The dress, the hair, the walk, she did her thing!
Sarah’s tenure for McQueen was what it was but ultimately, she maintained McQueen as a premier house in the fashion landscape. When you look at the succession at Fendi or Chanel, we see that it’s difficult to come after a genius or an iconic designer. We saw it with Givenchy overtime how finding the right voice can be difficult too.
She made McQueen her own. It was her interpretation of the vocabulary of the house. She did her thing.
I’m curious to see where she is going. I think that given that she has maintained fairly good relationships with Pinault, I can see her taking over Balenciaga. As I said in the Balenciaga thread, it would be ridiculous for them to let her go to the competition. There’s no non-competition agreements needed when moving from two brands in the same group.

Bravo Sarah, you did good.
