Individuality has been a huge trend throughout various mediums among designers, stylists and artists alike.

Sarah Burton’s Fall/Winter Collection for Alexander McQueen seemed to add on to the influences incorporated in her Spring/Summer collection. Although last season there was a Scottish influence from the Shetland Islands, this season took from that the deep, dark, almost dream-like state of a stormy seaside coast full of primeval influence. Burton’s Ready-To-Wear for Fall 2017 showed off a feminine strength rooted in the Middle Ages and simple, soft, and unstructured for the modern woman.

It was anything but understated and echoed glam at every angle. With mixed patterns, textures, and baker-boy hats to boot - the hair was simple, sleek and sophisticated, everything they portrayed the modern woman to be.
