The sun beat down into a huge plastic bubble dome on the banks of the Thames, Greenwich, as Sarah Burton showed her latest collection for Alexander McQueen on Tuesday afternoon.
Burton, who worked as the house founder Lee Alexander McQueen’s personal assistant since 1997, took the opportunity to pay tribute to the late designer she developed under, by weaving images of Dutch artist Hieronymus Bosch to her body-conscious and sleek tailored collection. “He really loved it,” she said of Bosch’s vast works, which often involve the flourishing natural world plagued with human violence and miniature demons.
