There has to be at least one thoroughbred in a stable and
here the stable that is Kering possesses a Triple Crown winner. Sarah Burton
just gets it! She delivers collections on a somewhat consistent basis that not
only honor the brand’s founder but expand the scope and fashion quotient of the
label itself.

Sarah Burton leaves
the Gucci, Pucci boys and the like in the dust. Oh yeah and Hedi, you need to
take note that this is what a kitschy make-up print looks like not with some
lipstick tubes printed on shoes and bags like some beginner’s project in textile
design. While we are at it, the dynamic duo of Valentino should take note that
Sarah out butterflied you as well and yes the Asian style prints too, well she
beat you hands down.

The bandana print is wonderfully rendered as are the
signature suits and coats. Oh, and by the way, she also upped Mary Katrantzou
by understanding how to take that design
mind set and expand on it successfully. Amazing isn’t it that there are
designers who still design and actually understand the evolution of their
label. This is a collection designed to sell and without making it some
greatest hits collection that clients might have second thoughts about.

Imagine
that Sarah can say it in 40 outfits with very few iffy’s and others need 80 and
still can’t get the point across.
