This rare Givenchy Couture runway dress, look 33 from the iconic Alexander McQueen Fall 1999 collection, is a sculptural masterpiece crafted from 100% silk, offering an exceptional investment piece for high-end fashion collectors.
This highly collectible and documented runway piece reflects the sharp, sculptural approach that characterized McQueen’s visionary work. The design features a dramatic off-the-shoulder cut with an unusual, asymmetrical pointed neckline and elegant long sleeves. The skirt is finished with sophisticated side slits for fluid movement. Inside, the dress is expertly constructed with a built-in, lightly boned bodice and an internal waist stay to ensure a flawless, secure fit.
Crafted in France and fully lined in silk, this is a striking example of Alexander McQueen’s tenure at Givenchy Couture - and a particularly compelling archival piece for serious collectors.
CONDITION
The dress is in excellent vintage condition with only minimal signs of wear and age to the fabric. There is some light creasing, which is characteristic of silk organza. Additionally, there is a minor imperfection in the cream-white edging at the side of the skirt, which has been documented in the final photograph.
