SOFT POWERDRESSING AT MCQUEEN
Sarah Burton has effected an extraordinary change in Mcqueen’s DNA, neither destroying it nor cloning it, just simply rearranging it.
All that was dark, hard and violent has become light and soft: it’s still romantic but mournful rather than morbid.
And the more it doesn’t immediately slot into the conveyor belt of trends, the better.
It does something more meaningful by chiming with an overarching mood of soft female power.
This is nonnegotiable for her.
“It’s important women know we can be strong, vulnerable and even sad.”
