SUMMARY:produit-270007 - Date de vente : 18/06/2018
DESCRIPTION:Nom du lots : \n\nA rare Julien MacDonald for Alexander McQueen
  knitted dress\, show-piece from the ’Banshee’ collection\, Autumn-Win
 ter\, 1994\, un-labelled\, with transparent band of loosely knitted plasti
 c threads to bust\, intentionally exposing the breasts when worn\, knitted
  bands of red chenille to the long sleeves\, bust approx 76-92cm\, 30-36in
 \n\n\n\nProvenance: the vendor previously worked with Julien MacDonald\, w
 ho has confirmed that he created the knitwear for McQueen’s ’Banshee 
 ’collection\, whilst still a student at The Royal College of Art. This i
 s the original dress worn on the catwalk. Around the time of this show\, M
 acDonald was also commissioned to create knitwear for Chanel by Karl Lager
 feld - remarkable achievements for someone who had still to graduate from 
 college.  For the Autumn-Winter 1994 collection McQueen took inspiration f
 rom a Celtic mythical being - the Banshee - who ’would be seen washing t
 he blood from clothes of men about to die’ (Judith Watt\, ’Alexander M
 cQueen: Fashion Visionary’\, p.45). \n\n\n\nThe dress appears in the fil
 m ’McQueen’ (2018).\n
