Label Text:The spring 2007 Sarabande collection was McQueen’s most floriate, and roses featured prominently. On the catwalk, one ensemble was specially constructed to be filled with fresh roses and hydrangeas, and models wore rose headdresses by Philip Treacy. This elegant 1930s-style dress, embroidered with a design of roses, was one of the most understated in the collection.
