I am pleased to say that Sarah Burton’s first full women’s resort collection for Alexander McQueen is everything I hoped it would be. According to New York Magazine: “Burton was responsible, as Lee Alexander McQueen’s right-hand woman, for turning his runway fantasies into more commercial things women will buy in stores.” And it definitely shows, as the collection is quite wearable, yet still has that distinct McQueen feeling.
I think all of us have quite high expectations of Sarah Burton come fall. I am sure she’s under a lot of pressure to create a beautiful Spring collection that honors the legacy of Alexander McQueen, yet having to make it her own. I hope she does well, and I’m rooting for her to succeed. What are your thoughts on these pieces?

I agree with you that Sarah Burton has big shoes to fill; think 12 inch McQueen heels. I think these pieces demonstrate that she has full intention of keeping Alexander McQueen’s creative genius alive in this resort collection. The clothes are beautiful and exotic, just the way an Alexander McQueen collection should be. I can’t help to think of Lady Gaga when I see this collection which makes sense since she was his muse. I’m most in love with the long cream/peach layered dress and the cleavage baring gray belted dress. Both are just perfect and I can’t wait to try them on. I look forward to Sarah’s future McQueen collections and if they resemble this resort collection, she is definitely on the right McQueen inspired path.
