Sarah Burton was just appointed creative director for Alexander McQueen. As his right-hand man woman of 14 years and head of design for his womenswear sector, we are fully confident that she's up for the task. Sarah finalized the Fall Alexander McQueen collection after his death, which carried on his style, and gave everyone the feeling that the show must go on.
“The creation of modern, beautifully crafted clothes was at the heart of Lee’s vision. I intend to stay true to his legacy,” - Sarah Burton

The "Savage Beauty" exhibit at the Met is running from May4th-August 7th and is a celebration of Alexander McQueen's work, visions and life. The exhibit explores his work as early as 1996, following his creations until his death in 2010. Most of the pieces are on loan from the Alexander McQueen Archive in London, however some are from Givenchy, and some from private collectors. It's a rare occasion that so many beautiful things will be in one room together. Take us on a jet plane to NYC please!
