2003 Alexander McQueen Navy Blue Silk Button Embellished Stripes Bias-Cut Gown

ID: 0908241 Size: small Condition: excellent An ultra glamorous and highly coveted Alexander McQueen navy blue liquid silk satin button embellished stripes bias-cut gown dating back to his sensational 2003 spring-summer 'Irene' collection. Though not a runway look, this rare dress has the same iconic shell-button detailing seen throughout the collection. Alexander McQueen was known for combining superb tailoring with a dramatic aesthetic inspired by various periods and it's clear this gown is a beautiful nod to 1930's fashion. The fabrication is truly magical; luxurious navy blue silk satin with rich red-color threaded ivory shell buttons. The red-stitched shell buttons are skillfully hand assembled in the most magnificent striped motif. The bodice has an alluring asymmetric one-shoulder with a  sensational wrap around strap. I love how the gown pools to the floor in a seductive supermodel length bias-cut shape. The weight of the embellished buttons really makes the dress fall perfe
