Bazaar isn't the only one giving Burton praise, MoMA in New York City is holding a retrospective of Burton's work Nov 22-April 26, 2010. I have been a big fan of Burton's work since I saw Edward Scissorhands in 1990, the creative direction was just awesome, as was Johnny Depp. This spread brings out the spirit of the Halloween season, showcasing this seasons couture against a backdrop reminiscent of Burton's latest creation Coraline.
Set designer Shona Heath used the Cants of Colchester, a rose nursery in England providing a brilliant backdrop of rows upon rows of posies. Feature characters include giant skeletons, a disheveled Burton as Santa yielding a giant skull, a dominatrix bunny, the sister of Edward Sissorhands, and an odd mummy and Burton as a clown add to the fantasy. The contrast of color of the red and black costumes set against the technicolor background of roses is balanced out balanced out by a dark foreboding sky. Complete with captions like, "Did you ever dance with devil in the pale moonlight?". The other stars of the spread worth mentioning include the leather studded Atelier Versace dress, a feather creation by Alexander McQueen, a corpse bridal gown by Ralph Lauren, and the scissor leather gloves by Rodarte. This spread captures the spirit of Tim Burton haunting and eerie yet stunningly beautiful.
