Quote Du Jour: Daphne Guinness- “I don’t love this resurrection of dead labels”

My opinion counts betch!

“Sarah’s brilliant — I loved her last collection. She worked with Lee for so long so she knows what to do. She’s not Lee but I think he’d be happy with her doing it. She learnt from him. Other than McQueen, I don’t love this resurrection of dead labels. There are so many talented young designers and so many of them end up working under other people’s labels. They should be doing their own thing.”

-Daphne Guinness reveals her love for Alexander McQueen’s successor, Sarah Burton.

Quote Du Jour: Oscar De La Renta to Michelle Obama “Why do you wear European clothes?”

Oh here go hell come?

“My understanding is that the visit was to promote American-Chinese trade — American products in China and Chinese products in America. Why do you [Michelle Obama] wear European clothes?”

-Oscar De La Renta says about the Alexander McQueen dress  Obama wore to the State Dinner.

Quote Du Jour: Sarah Burton Talks About Taking On McQueen’s Label

McQueen to Sarah: "You have to be able to stand behind your work."

“I thought: how would I ever begin to begin? Lee’s mind was so different to anyone else’s. I knew there was no way I could pretend to be him; but I had to ask myself, what did Lee work for? For all this just to close down?”

People ask: what’s Sarah about? But I’ve worked here for so long, there’s been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I’m not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That’s what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work.”

-Sarah Burton reveals to Vogue.
