Sarah Burton's collections for Alexander McQueen often have historical references and the 2016 Autumn/Winter collection was no exception. The 'Obsession' talisman print - which is steeped in motifs like butterflies, clocks, Faberge eggs, moths, flowers, hummingbirds, as well as the label's trademark skulls - was described by Sarah as thinking about a woman's obsession with the possessions she treasures, like her jewelry and makeup, and the things she collects . The idea for the print came about after Burton had spent time at London's Sir John Soane's Museum, where she was inspired by the objects that explorers, like Charles Darwin, collected on their voyages.
