It was the most heartfelt of moments for the most emotional brand in modern fashion. From Lee McQueen’s provocative catwalk shows to his sudden and untimely death, to the fairytale romance of the lace gown created in a secret atelier by Sarah Burton for the royal wedding of Kate and William in 2011, Alexander McQueen has always been not just about beautiful clothes, but about feelings.
At Burton’s last collection for McQueen, presented at Paris fashion week as she said goodbye to a brand to which she has dedicated her entire 26-year career, there was not a dry eye in the house.
