BURTON Sarah (Designer)

The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress unites the old and the new. The ivory satin bodice is narrow at the waist and slightly padded at the hips, drawing upon the Victorian tradition of corsetry so beloved of Alexander McQueen. Sarah Burton's cutting technique and tactile exploration of the fabric create an elegant, streamlined, modern silhouette, while hand-cut English and Chantilly lace (another McQueen trademark) embellish the dress. Burton had not yet finished her degree at London's Central Saint Martins when she began an internship at Alexander McQueen's death in 2010. In 2011 Burton won Designer of the Year at the British Fashion Awards and the International Designer of the Year Award from Elle UK in 2012. Burton was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 2012 for services to the British fashion industry.
