Here was another transporting and hyper-feminine collection from Burton. Backstage, she showed off gauzy dresses in knits as fine as cobwebs; tuberose flowers hand-painted on leather coats and corsets, and feathered skirts made of ostrich plumes that had been lacquered to give them a brooding aspect. “It’s all about nighttime and dreams,” said the designer, who decorated her clothes and accessories with talismans and surreal symbols, including pocket watches, butterflies, horseshoes, lips and eyes.
