SPLASHBACK: “SURCLASSISM”

SPLASHBACK: “SURCLASSISM”

_

If #Surrealism was a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature which sought to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind, for example by the irrational juxtaposition of images. #Surclassism is an avant-garde proposition which sought to release the creative potential of the classic couture construction and mythology of fairy tales not only by the amalgamation of genres – l’habillé of coats décliné delectably in evening’s spirit – but also by the harnessing of fabrics gravitas. Leathers seemed feathers in their souplesse. Tulles has an impeccable tombé. #SarahBurton is already well known as a master of couture ingenuity. Her fall/winter 2016 collection @alexandermcqueen presented her in a streamlined light. Hers is a beyond surrealist kaleidoscope of nostalgias. The quilted satin embroidered coat, the Surrealist tulle diamante embroidered gown, the hand-painted flowers on leather, or the Sarabande lace gown amongst other butterflies merveilles made a buoyant #AW16. It blended the most likable aspects of @AzzedineAlaiaofficial’s sartoria, @ElieSaabWorld aerie and #ReiKawakubo @CommedesGarcons black ease and sends them off to truculence in the macabre of #AlexanderMcQueen. It stamps the unmistakable #Burton sensibility onto every reinvention with the utmost delight for all the heartbeats we have left. Pause. Grandiose greets une grande: Sarah Jane Burton, née Heard. Every model was a collection per se, a torch in the darkness, as darkness followed her like its only hope. On the tips of #McQueen, on the lips of #Alexander. You are either the poet or the pain.
