Dead-Stock new with tags

Are we going to return to the sea? Will we have a choice in the matter? Alexander McQueen’s landmark final runway presentation changed the landscape of fashion in a way only a select few shows throughout history have. Pioneering digital print techniques as well as being the first fashion show to be broadcast live on the internet (taking place on Nick Knight’s ShowStudio). Emblazoned in pop culture history is Lady Gaga’s ensembles featured in the Bad Romance music video, the armadillo boots being a signature from this collection.

With the formalities of Plato’s Atlantis now out of the way, introducing this sublime dress of the same collection. In the instantly recognisable reptilian print, the silk has been manipulated into beautiful tucks and pleats. McQueen’s storytelling of gills and fins manifested through the collection in many ways. The dress is comprised of a V neck, cap sleeve and a form fitting silhouette.

Owning a piece of this, McQueen’s final collection, is a staple for any collector of a golden bygone era of fashion in London. Daring, subversive and totally attuned to the times.
