"Unlike many modern designers relying on fantastical or gimmicky-looking pieces, Burton reminded the Paris crowd of the true power of exquisite tailoring and craftsmanship. The collection consisted of sharp suiting, pinched-in hourglass waists, pronounced shoulders, as well as structured mini-dresses. The opening look was a sheer black catsuit with “Givenchy Paris 1952” written across the chest, referencing a classic mannequin, the baseline of each look. Common themes throughout many of the looks were bows and knotted detailing: Burton constructed long evening gloves that tied into a wide bow at the shoulders. For many of the more tailored, workwear inspired looks, Burton used what she named a “couture seam,” or a rounded sleeve that appears to slightly twist around the arm. She cuts the sleeve on a curve and presses it for a more feminine shape – combining construction of both womenswear and menswear"
