I didn't want this moment to happen. In fact, I wanted Gucci Group to fall flat on their faces for even attempting to keep the Alexander McQueen label alive past his death. He was such a force in the fashion world that it's impossible to imagine that anyone could take his place. I wanted this Spring collection to be a complete flop. As much as I wished for it, it didn't come true. Sarah Burton did the impossible by creating a collection that Lee would have been proud of. This collection hinted at all of the elements that made McQueen famous, yet moved them forward. The clothes had an undeniable sense of femininity. I loved that the collection started with a series of jackets that had the shoulder seam busted open, giving a relief to the strong shoulder that has been so prevalent in women's fashion for the past 4 seasons. The craftsmanship that went into these pieces is astounding. This collection was a real surprise and an unexpected treat.
