This rare and highly collectible Givenchy Couture dress from Alexander McQueen’s Fall 1999 collection is a documented runway piece (look 33). Made in France from featherlight black silk organza with cream-white edging that follows the silhouette, the fabric has subtle structure that allows it to hold its sculptural shape.
The design features an off-the-shoulder cut with an unusual asymmetrical pointed neckline and long off-the-shoulder sleeves. The skirt is finished with side slits for added movement. Inside, the dress is expertly constructed with a built-in lightly boned bodice and an internal waist stay for secure fit. 100 % silk, lined in silk. Made in France.
An excellent example of Alexander McQueen’s design language during his tenure at Givenchy Couture.
CONDITION
The dress is in excellent vintage condition with only minor signs of wear and age to the fabric. There is some light creasing to the fabric, which is characteristic of silk organza. A small area of damage to the cream-white edging at the side of the skirt (visible in the last photo). This flaw is minor and will go unnoticed when worn.
