Alexander McQueen: All Abuzz

Taking inspiration from the Vargas girls and the honey bee, Sarah Burton created a sharp, magical bit of fantasy on Tuesday night for McQueen. Tailored jackets and
some evening dresses had wasp waists, naturally, while pencil skirts came in delicate honeycomb patterns.
Many of the fabrics and embroideries had a spun-sugar lightness, in bee and meadow hues like honey, primrose yellow, and glossy black. As always, the McQueen
workmanship was impressive, but Ms. Burton captivated her audience with the textures and humming society of the queen’s world. The models’ beekeeper hats were
done in black patent leather with lace veils.
