Sarah Burton takes a historical 19th century tailoring approach to this
elegant menswear collection, her contemporary twist to these pieces are
practical and functional, from the gradient fades on the mens blazers to the
patch pockets on a simple double breasted jacket, not to mention the
worn leather on the shoes. This maybe the most wearable collection from
the house of Mcqueen to date, is she taking the house into safe waters? 
I would prefer to see Burton take her brave approach on womenswear and
 use that same vigour on the menswear.

Sarah Burton also transports us to several mid century decades of
fine tailoring, with classic checks, stripes and dandy coloured
velvets - a rather broad period of inspiration and an unusual
juxtaposition of era's.

 Sarah Burton has created a practical and romantic
resort collection with hints of haute couture evening
gowns embellished in gold and then there are these
pieces the tailored and practical where she uses
lace, ocelot prints and checks in a palette of khaki
tans and white. Burton's tailoring is of course
exceptional from the lapel to the tail of her lovely
ocelot patched coat to the straight cut and cuffed
pants with a strong focus on the waist.

Since Sarah Burton's appointment as creative director
at mcqueen she has maintained the legacy, aesthetic
and extrodinary craftsmanship which gave fame to the
house. These garments conceptually appear to be
segmented and reassembed contrasting the soft textures
with defined shapes, all composed with organzas, furs,
silks and wools all within a single garment.
