Pantheon

According to Women's Wear Daily (WWD), Pantheon ad Lucem had the 12th-highest pageviews at Style.com for the season.[1] McQueen told Harper's Bazaar in August 2004 "I don't know if the press liked the collection much", but said it was selling "phenomenally" at retail.[2]

Contemporary critical response to Pantheon ad Lucem was mixed. The collection's restraint, particularly with respect to the runway show, drew mixed commentary, as did its reliance on classic McQueen silhouettes. Booth More for the Los Angeles Times described the collection as part of an industry shift towards producing "salable clothes" rather than "runway antics".[3] Although she appreciated a few of the designs, Mower concluded that Pantheon lacked McQueen's signature theatricality and "didn't quite live up to expectations".[4] Vanessa Friedman of the Financial Times called showpiece items such as the light-up jewellery a "gimmick", but felt that some designs had a "subtle power".[5] The staff reviewer from WWD called it a "peculiar, interesting show", noting that the "eerie austerity" was an inverted manifestation of McQueen's "characteristic lavishness".[6]

Some critics felt the minimalist clothing was fresh and modern.[7][8] For The New York Times, Cathy Horyn wrote that only McQueen and Miuccia Prada had made a "leap of faith" that season and created designs that looked ahead, rather than following contemporary trends.[9] Michael Fink, a market director for Saks Fifth Avenue, told WWD that he interpreted McQueen's "sci-fi fantasy" designs as part of a trend for designers to "search for what's modern".[8] WWD wrote that the designs showcased McQueen's technical competence and ability "to make ultra-complicated shapes utterly wearable", but complained that the limited palette made the clothing feel dull at times.[6]

Sarah Mower of Vogue felt the pared-down designs were a necessary move, as contemporary fashion was saturated with "overcomplicated" designs.[4] She also suggested that McQueen "seemed to be trying to summarize the essence of his design identity" by using pared-down versions of silhouettes he had worked with before.[4] Friedman connected the collection's self-referential styling to McQueen turning down the head designer position at YSL.[5] Booth More for the Los Angeles Times felt McQueen was trying to show his financial backers at Gucci Group that he was a serious designer in his own right, and could produce commercially-viable clothing.[3]

The science-fiction inspiration was somewhat contentious. Horyn felt these elements were something to look past, directing viewers to ignore them and focus on the cut and the silhouette of the garments.[9] Stephen Todd of The Australian found there was "something disturbing" about the restrictive structure of some of the jackets and dresses. Although he appreciated the jersey gowns, he ultimately felt that he did not understand the collection.[10] WWD found the "alien bride" that ended the show "peculiar".[6]

Consensus has been established via discussion at [[WP:PLANTS]] and previous AfDs/PRODs that individual [[cultivar]]s are not presumed notable in the same way as natural species, and must meet GNG to have a standalone article. Database and commercial catalog entries are not considered sufficient for this purpose. The Hatch book is a comprehensive work that attempts to compile and list all cultivars, so I consider it database-equivalent as it is not selective. I found no independent significant coverage of this cultivar.
