Set in a romantic cathedral in God knows where, Sarah Burton showcased her amazingly romantic and ethereal Fall/Winter 2015-2016 collection. The pieces ranged from leather coats with a sort of lacquered finish, to fluffy ultra feminine pink, red and black frocks. Its interesting how she incorporates pink into her color palette for Fall. It didn’t over power the line up. There were rosy, flouncy,  ruffly and flirty dresses, and ooh… pleats! I love the way Sarah Burton still embodies the SPIRIT of the late Alexander Mcqueen, while still representing her point of view quite nicely. Although his legacy has a powerful impact on fashion, her designs can hold her own; Sarah has fierce design aesthetic. It  just melds with Alexander Mcqueens style like butter on toast. There’s one thing I have to painfully admit. Sarah’s take on Mcqueen is a lot easier to swallow. Don’t get me wrong, I love Alexander Mcqueen’s hard edginess, but the girly-girl in me loves Sarah’s ultra-feminine vibe. Although some dresses just looked like a revamped version of pieces from her spring 2014 line; I really loved the lines and form flattering silhouettes. I give this a 3 out of 5. I always look forward to her shows, but I think the risk of being “one note” is teetering.
