We survived a lot of hoopla over a fairly simple, lovely dress.
The secret is out: Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen did the wedding dress for Kate Middleton…aka Princess Catherine aka Duchess of Cambridge. But the dress is remarkably simple considering it was from the designer who is single-handedly saving the McQueen legacy. She does look stunning. While Facebooking with Alexander Jenkins (Miss J) this morning, he noted (no, not noted as in noted fashion photographer) but noted that the dress is very Princess Grace and added, “Well done Sarah and the House of McQueen. Absolutely simple and gorgeous.”
NOTE TO BRIDEZILLAS: See how demure and understated Kate is? Well, take note. That is the kind of princess to aspire to be, not a J.A.P.
Women’s Wear Daily Just released reactions from fashion designers on Kate’s Dress. Like anyone might be caught dead saying anything negative?
Christian Lacroix: “I like the dress very much, simpler than expected: A combination just in between 1956 Grace Kelly and 1947 Queen Elizabeth dress. I love the modest veil with the Queen Mother’s Thirties scroll tiara and balanced volume of the whole gown. She’s radiant; She never was so beautiful. And Prince William’s red Irish uniform is gorgeous.”
Hubert de Givenchy: “The dress is very simple and very nice. The veil is a little flat, but because she has such a lovely face, she can afford to wear it this way. She is very pretty.” About choosing a dress from McQueen, whose founder committed suicide last year, de Givenchy said: “It’s a lovely thought, a nice tribute.”
Peter Copping of Nina Ricci: “Very much in a royal tradition, reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth’s – and a little bit Grace Kelly. She looks happy, radiant and natural.”
Donatella Versace: “Kate’s dress was beautiful. She looked very regal.”
Viktor & Rolf: “Kate’s dress was simply elegant. Her hair down was a beautiful and natural touch, and the tiara was stunning. She looked as at-ease as humanly possible and was radiant. Our compliments.”
Elie Saab: “It was a very elegant dress, subtly refined and discreet, in keeping with her style. I would have liked it even more with a little extra volume and a longer train.”
Ann-Sofie Johansson, head of design at H&M: “Kate Middleton’s dress is beautiful. She looks absolutely stunning today at the royal wedding. The lace together with the long sleeves really showed the craftsmanship and hours of work that has gone into creating a dress like this. The dress suits Kate Middleton perfectly and Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen surely lived up to my expectations. I also think that the lovely flower bouquet will set the trend for many brides to be.”
Mark Badgley of Badgley Mischka, speaking for hinself and James Mischka: “James and I have goose bumps! The dress is perfection; and will stand the test of time. It is a classic Grace Kelly look. The skirt is divine. We love the hair down and the veil. The proportion is beautiful.”
Antonio Marras, Kenzo: “McQueen was a brilliant choice. The choice of the label and the style of the dress was a very clever mix between edgy fashion and tradition – all in a very British way. You could see references to Grace Kelly or Queen Elizabeth’s dresses, but in a simpler, more modern way. I loved her hair down. It looked perfectly natural and noble. Truly royal.”
Alexis Mabille: “Kate’s dress is a classic, very elegant and pure…. It reminds me of Princess Grace’s wedding dress in a modern version with deeper cleavage, the draping at the back in reference to McQueen.”
Dennis Basso: “I love that dress. It epitomizes the modern bride: covered, but still sexy with its tight bodice. The lace overlay and the covered-up look will certainly set a trend.”
Now, who cares about what H & M has to say? What, they are planning to do more wedding dresses and this knock off is in the mix? Not that Dennis Basso is the final work on anything. Right PETA? And Alexis Mabille? I’d much rather have heard from Vera Wang.

Whether she’s tilling a garden, giving a speech, or receiving foreign dignitaries, much ado is made about what Michelle Obama wears. So when the First Lady wore British label Alexander McQueen to this week’s state dinner for Chinese President Hu Jintao the choice let loose a storm of praise and criticism. Most assumed that Mrs. Obama would have worn a gown by a Chinese or Chinese American designer – like Vera Wang, who was in attendance that evening. In some minds it was a lost opportunity and even a snub.Whether she’s tilling a garden, giving a speech, or receiving foreign... more

Held in a private residence, Alexander McQueen’s final collection was a tranquel affair of white bandage and gold feathers. The show was meant to take place at Conciergerie one of the gloomiest of Marie-Antoinette’s prisons, however the 18th century manor which hosted the private showing seems almost as fitting. McQueen’s pieces are said to be inspired by 15th and 16th century painting. You can sense the Botticelli angel motifs in silk imprimés and the grotesques hellscapes of Bosch in certain dresses. McQueen, reportedly devastated by both the death of his mother and the 2007 suicide of close friend and mentor creates a hauntingly angelic and tortured final showing.
