It's not every day that you literally get stopped in your tracks passing a store front and seeing a piece of fashion that transcends anything you have seen before! But it happened to day as I passed the Alexander McQueen Boutique on Bond Street, London.
The dress in question is a piece from the A/W11 collection that comprises of hundreds if not thousands of tiny pieces of painted ceramic that have each been drilled with tiny holes on all sides and then threaded together to create the bodice of this dress- which then goes over a mille-feuille [thousand layers] of engineered pleating and concertinaed organza/chiffon that creates the skirt- totally amazing and worth going to see the store windows for that alone.
Sarah Burton has proven beyond any doubt that she can lead the vanguard of the aesthetic and genius that was Lee McQueen for the next generation of fashion followers!
