“The collection was about the 1745 massacre of the Scottish Jacobites by the English, which Lee felt so passionately about because of his Scottish family heritage, which his mother had researched. The women were the widows of the slaughtered army. This dress was actually based on my wedding dress—I got married two years earlier. We had to figure out how to make lace work in the round with those ruffles because Lee hated gathering. So we cut out all of the flowers from the lace and reappliquéd it on tulle to make our own fabric. This is the collection most people remember as the one with Kate Moss in a hologram. Oh, my God, it was so beautiful. He loved that show.”
It's a safe bet given that I am poor as all hell, that I wont be making it to New York to see the Savage beauty exhibition of McQueen's work. So I am reduced to posting the odd bits and bobs about the collection, sigh, hate my life. Anyway, this is Burton talking about McQueen's 2006 A/W collection.
