Check this look by look for all the deets on the threads and accessories (my favorite being the gold Zanotti hardware and Erickson Beaman crown).

Kate Middleton x Sarah Burton

And the winner is... Sarah Burton! The successor to the great Alexander McQueen was the chosen designer for the royal wedding dress. Perfectly lacy, surprisingly not overdone (for a royal wedding) and paired with a gorgeously subtle veil, the gown looked stunning on an even more stunning Kate. "The dress itself features a lace applique of hand-cut flowers on the bodice and skirt made by the Royal School of Needlework. All fabrics used were made by British companies and included English lace and French Chantilly lace, ivory and white satin gazar with the underskirt made of silk tulle trimmed with Cluny lace. The back of the custom McQueen gown was finished with 58 gazar and organza covered buttons fastened by Rouleau loops. Kate also wore hand-made McQueen shoes made of ivory duchesse satin with lace hand-embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. The Duchess of Cambridge's silk tulle veil was held in place by a Cartier tiara, lent to bride by the Queen." Congratulations to the lovely couple.

Prints

Trend-spotting: Prints. Bold, in-your-face eye-catchers for your apparel. (Remember the McQueen smoke print?) From fruits to landscapes to celestial to geometric, spring 2011 is going to be quite the expressive season. I personally love the Carven prints, which range from colorful planetary interpretations to classic black and white architectural structures. Flattering, funky and fun. Wonderful!

Sarah Burton x McQueen SS2011

Ok we're back and all-in. Sarah Burton's job of filling Alexander McQueen's shoes was a tough albeit feasible one, apparently. Her show is being compared to a story in which the woman becomes one with nature. She begins with a loose white jacket complete with McQueenesque tail but without McQueenesque peaked shoulders. Her femininity becomes apparent as the looks become more enveloped in everything from embroidery to full feathers to leather leaves to monarch butterflies. Everything about the show felt earthly, an ode. Extremely successful.
