Alexander McQueen - Runway Review
Exploring the idea of a “soft futurism,” Sarah Burton elevated her Alexander McQueen collection ever so carefully, beautifully melding the structure the brand has always maintained with oversized blooms of organza and feather that lent a more feminine bent. Lee McQueen, Burton’s late boss, shared a love for nature—but while he explored its dark facets, she has strived toward the light. Armed with a mirrored Plexiglas visor and heel-less boots, the dramatic collection opened with an army of nipped-waisted, full-skirted coats with Mongolian fur collars. From there, the craftsmanship dazzled more and more so. The show was magical in its exaggerated forms: circular, 3-D purple-hued camellias, a massive, pastel-pink dress beautifully balanced by eight tiers of hundreds of hand-pressed chiffon tucks.
Giambattista Valli - Runway Review
With a true and true New York girl in mind—“A Nolita Girl gone uptown—for a walk in Central Park,” to be specific—Giambattista Valli replaced his usual super feminine persona with that of a more urban approach infused with baroque decoration and color blocking. Set to the music from Sound Factory, the show was a modern rift on life in the 80s a la house music club. There was plenty of tweed; this time, however, it was reimagined in a large-scale print and splashed on knit sweaters, skirts, lean pants and tops. A tweed coat hemmed in fox was a particular stunner, as was a jaw-dropping balmacaan coat in gilded alligator. For dresses, Valli concentrated on the waist; silhouettes cinched with metal belts while Deco lines infused with eye-popping prints and cut in chiffon were a proud take on American style.
