though the designer of the namesake label took to the heavens (R.I.P. LEE ALEX) the Gucci group who owns 51 percent of the label decided to keep the Mcqueen dream alive and running and after a lot of rumors on who should take the reins of the label which was so attached to Mcqueen and his flamboyance , SARAH BURTON EMERGED AS A CLEAR WINNER .. on having spent 14 years of her life with Mcqueen, Burton agreed she was trained in darkness but her version of ALEX MCQUEEN, to me was light coming from darkness ..AND NEW DAWN .. and indeed it was . she took the pieces Mcqueen was famous for and gave them a subtle yet visible spin.(she gave mcqueen a new life ) she wanted to make mcqueen edgy yet wearable and i believe she was successful in doing so..
AS VOGUE.COM PUT IT-----
""For the first several looks—up to a pristine black tuxedo, with a white bib-front shirt and gold military frogging embroidery—Burton kept the emotion reined, only set on proving her competence in translating McQueen’s templates into wearable pieces. But then she took off into the romantic area of McQueen’s domain. The imagery of cornhusk dolls and poppies, woven opaque-to-sheer into molded jackets and looped chiffon skirts, gave way to the house answer to black leather biker: a jacket and bumster pants, entirely made from leather leaves. That changed the emotion in the room—stirring that crucial feeling of expectation and wonderment that is the essence of an Alexander McQueen experience. And then, a sustained series of beautiful things kept coming: fine tablecloth embroidery worked into dresses with 3-D crocheted flowers; Renaissance necklines; yellow-iris print chiffon dresses; a long, pale, high-necked georgette dress with a gilded leather belt made out of leaves. For showpieces—because no McQueen collection can be complete without the drama of things which seem almost impossible to make—there was a dress woven in straw in traditional cornhusk-doll technique, complete with a wheatear neckline; short, molded shapes which seemed to be made out of butterfly wings; and finally, a gown with its whole torso smothered in palest lavender feathers.
By the time the show drew to an end, with the Jackson 5’s “I'll Be There” playing on the sound track, many in the audience were welling up. Partly that was because the music seemed like a poignant message to Burton’s departed boss. But also it came from seeing a young designer face up to such a daunting challenge and then acquit herself with such a sensitive evocation of nature, beauty, and renewal.""
