大家也許知道，也很常看到Alexander McQueen 最常使用在自己設計中的一大元素，正是紅色玫瑰，無論是針織或是緹花上的花形，或是印花、刺繡，到整件拼接堆疊出如同一朵玫瑰的連身裙，甚至還有完全使用新鮮玫瑰做的禮服。可說是McQueen最鍾愛的元素，雖然知道紅色也是McQueen的代表色之一，但是大家應該很好奇為什麼要用玫瑰的原因吧?
McQueen曾說到: “我做的所有事情都是為了和自然做連結”。這句話也開啟了這周末在倫敦Alexander McQueen旗艦店展開的展覽 – Roses。這個展覽除了展現McQueen對花朵的喜愛，還一路串聯到了Sarah 的時代，最經典的就是2019秋冬Sarah所展示的紅色絲綢玫瑰禮服和McQueen在2007年春夏發表的玫瑰禮服。裡面最經典的當然還是McQueen那件以上百朵真花打造的禮服，McQueen說過: “我用花是因為他們會枯萎。沒有甚麼是永恆的，所以這個設計才會有脆弱的部分，是在說明沒有甚麼是永遠的，美貌會消失，很多東西都是一體兩面，像是美麗的容貌和衰老、生命和死亡。”因此”自然”就成了McQueen靈感的泉源，而這次展覽的主題Roses也提到: “花朵代表自然力量的根源。”

Sarah Burton藉由這次的展覽，將McQueen從2007年串接至今，主旨在於讓大家感受品牌的歷程，每一季的設計手稿和照片都一併展出，也複製了工作室中用來打版的桌子，還同步放映了工作室日常的影片。也同時開放讓學校老師帶領學生來參觀授課，未來也打算出借場地給所有大專院校作為使用。編輯認為這次的展覽是一種傳承，用記憶過去的方式繼續編寫品牌的未來同時，也讓新上任的總監不忘品牌的初衷，將品牌以自己的風格重生!
