Alexander McQueen vintage wool dress from SS 08

This tailored wool dress hails from Alexander McQueen’s renowned Spring/Summer 2008 collection ‘La Dame Blue’ a moving tribute to the late Isabella Blow, his friend & muse. Much like Blow this knee length dress subverts tradition, & provokes with dramatic flair. Cut from a herringbone x Prince of Wales plaid inspired patten, the sculpted silhouette is sharpened by cap sleeves, contoured seaming, & slit pockets - unexpectedly lined with a flash of hot pink. The precision of the cut reflects McQueen’s Savile Row roots. While the pronounced hip curve & the surprising color pop channel the theatrical irreverence of. Isabella Blow. An irreverence - much like this pink - that continues to saturate inspiration throughout fashion, & evidently in the vintage McQueen dress. Size on tag 38IT, approx a US 2. Measurement estimates upon request In very good vintage condition . No visible flaws, damages or signs of alterations. Very light wear consistent with age.
