There were only ten looks from whole collection that can be forgived because Sara Burton has new twins! Congratulations! And why forgive? Because the collection was so beautiful and really haute couture, and I would love it longer. It was a continuation of Pre-Fall collection that was full of church inspirations. This time Burton divided the ten into five subgroups: Communion, nuns, cardinals, popes, and angels. In a scarcely believable but timely twist for McQueen, Britain’s most senior Catholic cardinal has just stepped down in the wake of one of those sex scandals that endlessly plague the Vatican in the twilight of its domain.
The dresses were so amazing! Lots of embroidery, silk, pearls, gold, ornaments… Ah, so baroque and opulent! It was luxurious but not RTW! That’s for sure. But I love it so much. And the interior of runway? An old palace with lots of decorations and rich lamps!
