 Sarah Burton,

the late Alexander McQueen's right-hand design aide, has been named creative director of the London-based fashion house. Burton - who grew up in Manchester and graduated from Central Saint Martins in 1997 - worked with McQueen for sixteen years. Having joined the brand in 1996, she has worked as head of womenswear design since 2000 and was credited with completing the designer's autumn/winter 2010-11 collection in time for Paris Fashion Week in March, following his suicide less than a month earlier.

I think that nobody will forgive Mcqueen for his fast leaving from life because its work demanded continuation. Certainly that has made Sarah beautifully and elaborately, but shocking has disappeared, together with the master.
