The Islands
The wild and magical coastal landscapes of the Shetland Islands were the origin of this collection.
Their natural beauty has inspired local artisans who have passed their skills down through
generations of women for centuries. In particular, gossamer fine Shetland Lace, worn by crofters’
daughters and royalty alike, woven with indigenous flora and fauna-wild heather, clover, poppies
and roses; sea birds and underwater creatures both real and mythical-is re-imagined. The colourful
interiors of solitary, deserted houses, faded over time and glimpsed through windows, fishing huts,
sea walls, shipwrecks, lost treasure, Celtic paisley and the stoles and shawls sported by Scottish
nobility are also referenced. Hand-sewn, patched Taatit rugs, traditionally given as wedding gifts,
form the backbone of the story. When families are joined in wedlock, two of these are sewn together
to become one precious symbol of unity and love.
Softly tiered, narrow Shetland inspired lace dresses with delicately frayed edges are woven
with the Tree of Life, ocean waves, spider webs, peerie flowers and cockle shell designs and worn
with intricately worked leather harnesses edged with rows of jingling bells.
More dresses are panelled, both oversized and worn close to the body, constructed out of patches
of richly-coloured Fairisle knit. This is deconstructed further, pieced and patched with hand crochet
or enhanced with tiny metal rings. Fine leather jackets are pieced and embellished with shipwreck
rose embroideries.
Voluminous dresses in handkerchief weight cotton voile are printed with bright blue thistle buds
or delicately trailing florals and gathered to the torso with fine leather harnesses. The floral designs
behind the embroidered leather, chain stitched leather and beaded lace panels are inspired by Sarah’s
collection of antique fabrics, pieced together to form cutaway leather frock coats and corsets or jeans.
This process is a nod to the Shetland Islands’ spirit of community and kinship.
Celtic checks, originally worn by resident clans come in the form of sharp tailoring with wild rose
and thistle threadwork and black jet leaf embroideries lending a proud, graphic and masculine edge.
True to the Savile Row tradition that lies at the heart of the house of Alexander McQueen,
strong-shouldered jackets, kilts and kickback trousers are slashed and panelled with lace. Languid
ankle-length dresses in skeletal tulle are embroidered with Scottish wild flowers. They are also
engineered in a Celtic paisley and feature a fitted sleeve with a puffed shoulder. A tangle of fishnet
knits and embroideries constructed from strings of jet is draped into a tunic top and corseted dress
with unravelling fringing.
The collection becomes increasingly elaborate, culminating in a sequence of romantic tulle dresses
etched with sea creatures in black beaded embroidery. The final looks are a pair of shredded
tulle dresses with cascading strings of jet beading, depicting a shipwreck scene of crashing waves
in silver sequins, engulfed by the call of the sea.

I can't wait to see what spring/summer 2017 means when it comes to the handbags and accessories. I absolutely loved the prints 2016 offered with the Surreal and Victorian themed prints! I just reviewed the Alexander McQueen Nocturnal print handbag on my channel.
brilliant

I'm not so sure about the hair .....hmm ....The music should of been a tad better x
Can’t help missing what the label was and feeling sad for what it has become. 😕
@kevinrybak8638 Well, for starters, it has "become" profitable after losing money every single season under Lee's direction. Every one. The "it's not McQueen" bull sh*t has become tiresome. Get over it and keep your stupid, worthless "opinion" to yourself.
Sarah, you've been a steady hand on the tiller, but this is getting dull now, we've had year upon year of diaphanous lacy ruffled gowns, the pattern archive at McQueen must have some ideas you can revisit, the classic hallmark McQueen signatures we know and respect, the architecture, the drama, the gothik, the dynamic historicist references...its all gone, every shred of Lee's visionary genius diluted to the point of repetitious banality. One silhouette is not a collection, it's treading water.
I'm so tired of this Sarah Burton's "play safe" with no risk and boring clothes nothing to compares with McQueen... please let galliano take the lead of this brand
Alain Heredia I feel the exact same way. I just look back at the old collections at this point.
Galliano is a fool he should not take over! But I 100% agree on the Sarah burton part!
mcqueen creation is for opera. sarah's is more wearable. nobody walks on streets wearing wings.
All beautiful but why are the models so goddamn skinny,it's not good looking or healthy
RAINBOW UNICORN they look like boys
DAYBROK3 yes, and they make the clothes look bad.
of course the obligatory body shaming in the youtube comments.
stop hating yourself and maybe you will stop hating others. it shines through.
boring....
