Sarah Burton's Spring 2012 Goddess Collection Unleashes McQueen's Unbearable Beauty

Sarah Burton’s Spring 2012 Goddess Collection Unleashes McQueen’s Unbearable Beauty SN Living

The nuances of Sarah Burton’s interpretation of the Alexander McQueen aesthetic are so subtle, that perhaps only a Smart Sensuality woman sees the trend. Both Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel and Sarah Burton’s collection for McQueen paid homage to women of the sea in Paris yesterday. (Chanel coming shortly).

Both collections are astoundingly beautiful, but Burton’s is more psychological. Style.com writer Tim Blanks caught the difference, too. ‘Lagerfeld’s models were nymphs; Sarah Burton’s were goddesses,’ writes Blanks.

Bingo — a man after my own heart and mind. Who said men can’t dig deeply into womanly concepts like the difference between nymphs and goddesses!

The answer is power. Not only are the Alexander McQueen women more powerful — goddesses rather than nymphs — they are shedding their McQueen ambivalence about female power and its impact on the lives of men.
