Wedding dress for a Mc-Queen to be

Well, well, well - Weren't we all surprised by the revelations this past weekend that the couture house of the late Alexander McQueen are designing Kate Middleton's Wedding gown (Or at least so a Fashion insider source claims)!


Sarah Burton, Lee McQueen's successor as Creative Director at the fashion label worked along side the very man himself for 14 years prior to his tragic suicide in February last year. The fashion label was most recently catapulted back at the fashion forefront by no other than Lady Gaga, who has famously wore some  of McQueens most outlandish designs, like the one pictured below which is suitably regal given the topic of this post!

Most Wedding writers and speculators are shocked by the choice because of the edgy nature of the fashion houses designs which is very much in contrast to Kate's demure but classy natural style. Neither Clarence House or spokespersons for the McQueen label have confirmed the revelations, but the one thing that is clear is that Sarah Burton has been involved in designing the Wedding gown of a member of the Royal family before.

Sara Buys, daughter-in-law of the Duchess of Cornwall, had her Wedding dress designed by Sarah Burton a number of years ago for her own Wedding. Far removed was Sara's gown from the typical dramatic McQueen look, with a feminity about it that has come only from designer Sarah Burton herself. The gown below, a bespoke design for a contributing editor at American Vogue magazine resembles very much what we at Timeless White thought the nations next Princess might wear.

So, if you were surpised to hear that Kate Middleton, Queen of Britain-to-be, has gone with perhaps one of Britains edgiest and more innovative design houses, you might be even more surprised on the day to see her in something suitably Kate, wearing a silhouette exactly as you imagined she might.

But who'd have thought Kate Middleton would be wearing Lady Gaga's favourite label on April 29th? Not us!
