I'm not sure if the public feel the same way about Kate Middleton's wedding gown like I do. I think her wedding gown is just so not the style from Alexander McQueen. Even if it's designed by Sarah Burton, the current design director of the brand, Alexander McQueen. Even though she and Alexander McQueen used to be classmates when they were both in the fashion design school, but her style of work is just not Alexander McQueen.
Alexander McQueen is known for his imaginary, almost fantasy, but definitely glamorous couture designs on the runway. He is a genius. I was captivated by his couture line back in Fall 2008. And yes, the collection made me fell in love with his design ability and aesthetic perspective from his Fall 2008 RTW collection.
Here are couple of images from that collection:

When Alexander McQueen was interviewed and was asked about what inspired him to do this collection, his answer was he dreamed of a young girl who lives in the wood but came out from the darkness as a queen. In my opinion, that is pretty fantasy. Which is something that I'm interested in novel and digital illustration. I just never thought a fashion designer would actually turned it into a reality and designed a whole series of collection based on his dream. This collection was simply so beautiful to a point that it is surreal.
But what happened to Kate Middleton's wedding gown done by Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen? I'm disappointed.
