Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2011/12 details Alexander McQueen Fall/Winter 2011/12 dress

While Alexander McQueen Spring/Summer 2011 was a majestic tribute to McQueen's work, the new Fall/Winter 2011/12 collection is more about Sarah Burton moving towards doing her own thing. A transition point between McQueen's legacy and Burton's vision of McQueen's legacy.

There are several stunning, breathtaking pieces in this collection, but overall it lacks the wow factor of McQueen's work. Nothing terrible for a collection at such a not yet certain point, though. It'd be foolish to expect all future McQueen collections will be McQueen and only McQueen, or to believe that Sarah Burton can somehow become his reincarnation. I'm looking forward to her developing her own wow factor.

Oh, and these shoes? You need a licence to kill.

    To each her own I guess. If this isn't wow factor, I don't know what is. I think this is still recognize the McQueen DNA here. I never doubted Sarah. I like studs in small doses, but that little one in the back is a nice surprise.

    Seveda McQueena ne bo noben nadomestil. On je pač nenadomestljiv in malo kdo mu bo segel do kolen.
    Ampak še vedno menim, da Sarah svoje delo opravlja dobro, sploh zato, ker mislim da je pod veliko večjim pritiskom kot ostali, saj "mora" nadaljevati ero nepozabnega - nadnaravnega in vsi pričakujemo Mqcueen-a.
    Priznam, da sem od začetka dvomila vanjo... zdaj temu ni več tako in jo spoštujem za njeno delo, ki ga opravlja in si zasluži aplavz, ker res igra težko vlogo.
