From Vogue: 
Innovative, emotional, uncompromising—all words that describe the romantic and provocative fashion of Alexander McQueen, a brand that's become synonymous with modern British couture. Integral to the Alexander McQueen culture is the juxtaposition between contrasting elements: fragility and strength, tradition and modernity, fluidity and severity. An openly emotional and even passionate viewpoint is realized with a respect for the arts and crafts tradition, a profound influence on the brand. 
The result? The embellished portrait gown, a work of art.

Boatneck column gown, sleeveless, crystal embellishments, stunning embroidery, slightly slim fit, back zip closure. Made in Italy. 
Full-length column skirt with chic fishtail. 
Luxuriously lined. 52% viscose, 48% acetate
