Once I see the house of Alexander McQueen dish out some bold pops of colour for fall I can now come to terms that it’s acceptable and allowed. But excuse me for having such a strong belief that F/W should be on the darker side.
Sarah Burton’s take on the bold colours has been muted and paired with easy almost basic monochromatic looks and separates; something that makes it have a...
