British art nouveau and arts and crafts, the restrained elegance of modernism: the sinuous iris, the proud thistle and The Glasgow Rose.

Inspiration.. Northern landscapes. The windswept earth stripped bare: flint, rock, coarse earth and thistles. Art nouveau and arts and crafts: the restrained elegance of modernism. The organic abstraction of Henry Moore’s drawings. The dialogue between Alexander McQueen menswear and womenswear continues: heritage tailoring, uniform, hybrids and garment beetling.

“Each look tells its own story. The connection between the clothes is the time it took to make them. I was interested in clarity and paring things down, in the essence of garments – stripping back to the toile. I love the idea of people having the time to make things together, the time to meet and talk together, the time to reconnect with the world.” SARAH BURTON CREATIVE DIRECTOR
