Burton has already said that there were so many ideas left to be explored in her work with the designer. Now that she has proved her absolute fealty, her absolute familiarity, it's going to be riveting to watch her apply the craftsmanship and teamwork that made the 2011 collection such a success to a new vision for the house.
Kate Middleton’s choosing Alexander McQueen to design her wedding dress, was a little bittersweet, as McQueen never had the chance to see his fashion become part of a wedding that will go down in history, Kate Middleton paid a huge honor to him by choosing his label.

WOWZA!
The drama was mind-blowing.
The best words are McQueen's own quotes on the walls throughout.“There is no way back for me now. I am going to take you on journeys you’ve never dreamed were possible.” 
"I’m a romantic schizophrenic"
Costume Institute curator Anthony Boltan, reminded us of McQueen's favorite Shakespeare quote from Midsummer's Night Dream,

Sarah Burton (Creative Director at McQueen and designer of Kate's wedding dress) told of 'Lee' coming in on a Monday with a pile of mussel shells he'd picked up on the beach on Sunday...
And making a shell bustier on the spot.
McQueen (of Scottish descent) created a 'Rape of Scotland' collection to express his political anger at England and often showed up at events in tartan kilts...
There are McQueen tartan items in the gift shop and you don't have to be Scottish to buy them...
Stella McCartney studied with McQueen at St. Martins, on Savile Row and when they arrived together in Paris early days, Lee said,

McQueen's last Spring 2010 collection of digitally printed organic forms and patterns...
"It was an...unmissable formula...McQueen's message throughout was essentially sunk into the short dress—a steady development of his engineered sea-reptile prints, worked into a nipped-waist, belled-skirt silhouette.
