Fashion writers unanimously praised the tonality of Sarabande, Alexander McQueen's Spring/Summer 2007 collection. Kate Bethune described it as a blend of 'fragile beauty' and 'decaying grandeur', characterized by a 'darkly romantic and quintessentially feminine' essence. Judith Watt emphasized the collection's 'sensuality' and 'sense of history', while Katherine Gleason found it 'romantic, nostalgic, even elegiac', evoking the Edwardian era's essence. McQueen himself, in a 2007 interview, highlighted the theme of decay, using flowers to symbolize mortality.
