Sarah Burton makes a statement about female power with her latest interpretation of Alexander McQueen's legacy.
I’m going to let you all in on a little secret to spring solstice success:It was cedar wood chips and their attendant aroma—spunky! Raw!—that filled the inside of a Brooklyn Navy Yard warehouse on Monday evening, piled into little and big hills by the artist Smiljan Radic. Perhaps because it was the first day in New York that really, like we ourselves were daisies popping out of snappy green stalks popping out from the stinky rich soil.
Onto the clothes: Sarah Burton will never have the razor edge of Alexander McQueen. And she shouldn’t, and we shouldn’t ask her to. As much as I see people my age and younger pining for the late designer’s controversial, boundary-pushing runway shows , I’m not sure we actually want them. At the very least, we haven’t nurtured an environment that encourages ambivalent ideas.
The end of the show featured a number of dresses that seem destined for a red carpet . There was a mushroom one with long fringes that bounced trippily; there was a mottled sequin ribcage with a tulle exoskeleton. But the stronger statement came at the beginning of the show, when wildly ruffled ball dresses in tea-length shapes, styled with motorcycle boots worthy of a real speed demon, alternated with aggro leather dresses and spiffy suits.
