| Alexander McQueen by Sarah Burton, F/W 2011 |
I'm not normally a gal that takes a bet, but given the queenly inspiration of the Fall/Winter 2011 McQueen show, it seems like a sure thing. And it would be a such a fitting tribute to the man, the label, Sarah Burton and British fashion. But I guess I'll have to wait until the morning of April 29th to find out if I'm right.

Rosemary Harden, Manager of the Fashion Museum said "we are aiming to show the richness and variety of the white wedding dress down the ages, as well as the enduring romance of the traditional style." Also on display are a selection of framed sepia photographs of wedding couture dresses, which are part of a previously unseen archive by the Paris House of Worth.

I went to see this exhibition last week before using their study facility to feel up some eighteenth century dresses (have you seen my photos from that - I thought you might be interested!) and just posted some pictures from it to my blog. It was really lovely! The Worth photographs were so beautiful. :)

Oh I could get lost in that exhibition; ever the aspirant bride I could re-marry my husband annually if only for the dress....my bet I'm afraid is Bruce Oldfield as I think his 'classic' tailoring will better suit the assembled crowd though if I were her I would be tempted to the house of McQueen for all the reasons you stated so eloquently. The bet is on.....
I too would love that exhibition...i tend to prefer more timeless gowns, not quite sure about the Alexander McQueen, but it definitely covers all bases as you say. I hope you have a fantastic weekend,

The latest issue of Vanity Fair has an article by Katie Nicholl that suggests Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen is almost a sure thing for Miss Middleton. According to Nicholl, Bruce Oldfield is the probable choice for mother of the bride.
I'm definitely going to do my best to get to this gorgeous exhibition. The Fashion Museum is brilliant!
I also loved the A/W 2011 McQueen show in Paris. It would be a great choice for Kate Middleton's wedding dress but...hmm, just not sure if she'll go that "out there." I feel she'll play it more safely. I hope I'm wrong though!
She wear a nice woolen dress according to mine but the picture cannot tells us the whole story
