Sarah Burton really live up to her title as McQueen's successor as she expand on McQueen's legacy in this Resort collection. Even though this collection is not really as amazing nor as elaborate as that of her predecessor, she did indeed added a feminine touch and simplicity to this Resort collection.
The constant of this collection is that the waistlines are higher. The red dresses would make perfect a perfect evening dress for functions and I am totally head over heels with the Japanese motifs in some of the design, adding Oriental delicacy to the dark embrace of McQueen's macabre dimension. The golden plates on the shoulders of some of the pieces invokes tenacity with fragility, like it could be found on a samurai's gear and yet also as a chest plate befitting of Cleopatra. The mosaic patterns (row 3, col 1) looks like something out of an Etruscan frescoes or decorating the walls of the great city of Tenochtitlan.
The accessories are not left out either.
The statement clutches with knuckledusters for easy grip are really amazing and timeless, complete with McQueen's signature skulls.
Even though Burton might face some detractors and panned criticism for this collection; I have one thing to say; haters gonna hate.
Kudos to Burton for being brave enough to fill in to Alexander McQueen's shoes whose extraordinary work will probably remain unchallenged.
