The verdict is still out for Alexander McQueen’s successor Sarah Burton, but if an early look from WWD says anything, the spontaneity of one of menswear’s most innovative designers is most noticeably absent. Relaying this season’s theme, Burton shared that “The collection looks into English culture over the decades and to the England of Alexander McQueen, referencing the gentlemen of Savile Row, World War I Tommys and the demob.” Spring’s inspirations so far are executed in quite the somber manner, but hopefully the remainder of the collection lends itself to an exciting new perspective.
I would never have recognized this as McQueen, although the suit in the first picture is kind of fun. I need more patterns and experiments!! This is so insipid.
