Alexander McQueen FW 2012/13 by Sarah Burton
It’s there in the creamy nipped-waisted, full-skirted coats with
high-stacked
Mongolian fur collars that opened the show. And more
fundamentally, it’s there in Burton’s
nurturing of the amazing McQueen
workshop, a force of dozens of skilled artisans bent on
finessing 3-D
flower embroideries, pin-tucking, pleating, and placing marabou feathers
for
hundreds of hours: London’s closest rivals to the upper echelons of
Paris couture endeavor.
Sarah Burton has been thinking about “a beautiful future” for fall:
“A kind of soft futurism. Not cold and structured, but optimistic and forward-looking.”
The result, - extravagantly shaggy shapes in goat fur, ostrich feather, or Mongolian lamb, their
shivering undulation evoking another organic association: anemones swaying in the tide.
The House of Alexander McQueen is pleased to announce the opening of their new
McQ Flagship Store in London. The new store concept was conceived by
Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen and realised together with David Collins Studio.
“We wanted to create a story and a home for McQ and the flagship on Dover Street is an extension of this world. The store will offer special catwalk pieces alongside ready-to-wear collections in a rich and immersive McQ environment.” – Sarah Burton.
