Sarah actually did an okay job with SS16, some homages to McQueen, great jackets and coats towards the start, nice gowns towards the end without too many ruffles and shit.

I don't think there will ever be a designer who can put on a more captivating show than him though. For me, Raquel Zimmermann at FW06 is probably the most beautiful fashion moment ever. McQueen at his best could surpass even the biggest fashion houses' couture collections.

wow another useless pile of drivel from this dumbass

Why do you need to validate every generic opinion you have, with even more generic bullshit? Like just stfu up for once. Only post when you feel like you are going to contribute something of actual pertinence, because 90% of your posts are just unneeded.

Please just stop

What couture?
I know Sarah Burton does some made to measure/bridal work on request, but McQueen doesn't do HC.
What you see in the shows is RTW.
