FW 2012 Black Red Floral Printed Wool Dress

Alexander McQueen
FW 2012 Black Red Floral Printed Wool Dress
Size S

A striking Alexander McQueen black wool dress, featuring an elaborate mirrored floral composition in deep red, burgundy, pink, blue, green and ochre tones.
Cut from 100% wool, the dress has a soft, fluid handle and an elongated straight silhouette. The relatively generous shoulder and chest proportions create a relaxed upper body, while the shape narrows through the waist and falls to approximately knee length. The wide rounded neckline and three-quarter-length sleeves keep the construction deliberately simple, allowing the highly detailed print to dominate the design.

The floral imagery is arranged in a near-symmetrical composition across both the front and back, recalling the dark romantic botanical motifs frequently explored within the Alexander McQueen vocabulary. Against the black ground, the flowers emerge almost like an old-master still-life painting, with saturated reds and muted foliage producing considerable depth.
Made in Italy.

Great overall condition.
