Alexander McQueen: All Abuzz - NYTimes.com Taking inspiration from the Vargas girls and the honey bee, Sarah Burton created a sharp, magical bit of fantasy on Tuesday night for McQueen. Tailored jackets and some evening dresses had wasp waists, naturally, while pencil skirts came in delicate honeycomb patterns. Many of the fabrics and embroideries had a spun-sugar lightness, in bee and meadow hues like honey, primrose yellow, and glossy black. As always, the McQueen workmanship was impressive, but Ms. Burton captivated her audience with the textures and humming society of the queen's world. The models' beekeeper hats were done in black patent leather with lace veils.
