I will add that a twenty second viewing of anything is not sufficient to base a judgment but judge I will just the same.<br /><br />While I am sure Barton is a talented technician, she is no McQueen if this exhibition is any indication. The fit was tragic. The scale impossible to find and a great many of these clothes looked more like costumes than couture. <br /><br />What set McQueen apart was his genius at pushing the boundary of expectation with regard to fit. Even when they were no more than rags draped over a model, those rags fell in the most elegant sweep and transcended any impression of costume. McQueen mastered tailoring in a way that never lost sight that a body is indeed underneath it all. Much of what I just saw missed that point entirely.<br /><br />Ms. Barton needs to find a way to take her time with McQueen and then transcend him if she has any hope of becoming like him. He would not expect or want her to mimic his efforts in order to carry forward his label. That would mock his genius and ruin his vision for the house he built.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-14602129787042449742010-10-12T07:55:56.940-04:002010-10-12T07:55:56.940-04:00I completely agree - Ms Burton has really stepped ...I completely agree - Ms Burton has really stepped up to the plate and done the impossible. I honestly don't think any McQueen fan would be disappointed with her continuation on his legendary vision. Of course it helps that she spent 14 years working alongside him, but having said that, I could have spent 14 years with Monet and still be entirely useless! She really is phenomenal and I hope that her work brings her great personal recognition - which she entirely deserves - as well as the due credit to the McQueen line.<br /><br />Also, just wanted to say that I love this blog!

I'm glad she got the job and not some other "celebrity" designer. It was a smart move on the part of the owners, it means a REAL commitment to keeping the house and its vision alive... consider the other messy houses that seem so lost right now. always in a state of flux, rudderless, captainless with the ever revolving door of "it" designers at the helm....chris in sfnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401355923091588637.post-59771060066645943342010-10-06T08:37:02.590-04:002010-10-06T08:37:02.590-04:00nice one...
