Mycelium was the name Sarah Burton gave the collection, a moniker stand-in for a larger message that the designer wanted to convey about how interconnected the world truly is. Mycelium is the root-like structure of mushrooms that interlinks them below the surface. The tree mulch setting was also a nod to this idea. “What I really love is the way that trees talk to each other, and sort of heal each other, as in a creative community that all work together,” Sarah Burton told press backstage after the show.
